May Kiwanis Student of the Month: Brynn Arzola
Brynn Arzola is one of the May Kiwanis Students of the Month. She is the daughter of Jason and Heidi Atkins and has a GPA of 3.5.
Some of Arzola’s favorite classes are Psychology and Creative Writing. Outside of school, she has been involved in volleyball and track. She also regularly volunteers at her church and the Des Moines food pantry. From these activities, she said she has learned to work hard and enjoy the little things in life. Currently, she is set on attending Idaho State University to study occupational therapy.
When asked for advice on success in life, Arzola said, “Look out for others and yourself.” She believes she was honored as Kiwanis Student of the Month because she is nice to her classmates.
In recognition of her achievements, Kiwanis of Adel has donated $50 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.
Your donation will support the student journalists of Adel DeSoto Minburn High School. Your contribution will allow us to purchase equipment, attend conferences, and cover our annual website hosting costs.



![Rhyan Miller is the April student of the month. Miller is the daughter of Charity and Rich Miller, and has maintained a 3.925 GPA. Her three favorite classes in high school have been drama as literature, Prostart II, and news journalism. Miller participates in cross country, theater, individual and large group speech, the prostart team, student council, NHS, silver cord, and track. She feels that her experiences in those activities have made her more extroverted, sharing that she is "not afraid of [her] own voice anymore." Miller plans to attend Winona State University to major in psychology and minor in political science. Her advice to others is to "Fake it 'till you make it." She feels she was selected as student of the month due to her increased active presence in the classroom. She is also thankful for the good parking spot. In honor of her achievements, Raccoon Valley Bank has donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.](https://blackandredgister.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/20260427_104331-600x450.jpg)
