May Teacher of the Month: Alex Reams

Alex Reams, Teacher of the Month

Alex Reams has been nominated for May Teacher of the Month. He was nominated by multiple students because he challenges them in class, helps them work through their issues, and he supports them with their extra projects.

Reams has been a teacher for four full years and he has been teaching at ADM for those four years. Reams wanted to be a teacher because he wanted to be a coach and those two fit together well. He switched from elementary education to industrial tech because it matched up well with the things he likes to do outside of his job. He enjoys bringing that into kids lives.

“Being Teacher of the Month is something you don’t really think about until it happens and then you look back on it and think that you are justifying your job because you are making a difference in kids lives and you are benefiting them,” Reams says.

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.

Through these he has learned how to be a leader and work as a team. Lippencott volunteers once a month at his church, and he is planning to attend Evangel University and major in business analytics. When asked what advice he would give to others about success in school and in life he said “I’d say learn how to work with people, it really helps because you can have them help you, and you can help them and it's just good to know how to talk to and work with people.” When asked what being student of the month means to him and he said that it shows his hard work and leadership is paying off.

The Student of the Month in November in Brenna Seidl. Her parents are Chris and Jacque Seidl. She has a 3.89 GPA. Seidl’s favorite three classes from high school are Intro to Ed, because it matches with what she wants to do after high school; English III, because she likes the Great Gatsby; and Culinary because it was really fun. She is involved in Cross Country, Soccer, Speech, NHS, Humanitarian Chord and Student Council. These activities have taught her leadership, and helped her grow connections with people she wasn’t initially friends with. Seidl also volunteers at her church. Next fall, Seidl plans to attend UNI and major in elementary education. Her advice to others about how to succeed in school and life is to be kind—you never know what other people are going through.

Being named Student of the Month is a big honor to Seidl. She feels recognized for all the work she’s put into the school for the past four years. She thinks she’s been recognised because of all the work she’s put into the school through student council, and because she holds a lot of leadership positions and is involved in a diverse group of activities. In honor of her achievements, Raccoon Valley Bank has donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.
