The middle school staff members chose 7th grader, Sevana Stepherson, as the December Student of the Month. Sevana participates in vocal, student council, the honors program, and is the basketball manager. Sevana feels that she was chosen at Herington Middle School’s student of the month because she has received straight A’s, she is helpful towards other students, she follows the Rail Way and the Three R’s, she shows respect in class, and is a role model for other students. Sevana is the daughter of Teresa Maria Stepherson and step-daughter of Ronnie Mac Moncrief.
