Students of the month for October at Prairie High
School are Alex Richardson, left, and Abbigail Lustig. Alex spends the
first two periods of the day at the elementary school. Because I’m
teaching math at the high school during the first two periods, Alex is
the person who opens the elementary school library and runs it until about
10 a.m. This is often the library’s busiest time, and Alex does a
wonderful job of checking books in and out as well as helping students
find books or take tests on them. Alex also came in before school started
this year and decorated the library with bright, attractive bulletin boards.
She has an almost radar ability that allows her to see things that need
doing and then she just does them without having to be asked. We
could not ask for a better person to start our day in the library at the
elementary school! Abbigail is a delight to have in my drafting and commercial
design classes. She is not afraid of hard work or challenges. Although
she has not painted much before, she is currently painting a sign for Angie’s
Craft Shop. She is a natural learner. She listens to instruction, and the
results are beautiful. Her positive attitude, talent, and maturity insure
her success at what ever she decides to do.
