Nathan Wedemeyer, son of Mike and Jill Wedemeyer, is the Student of the Month for May. He has a GPA of approximately 3.7.
Wedemeyer’s favorite classes of high school have been English 2 because of Ms. Aukes, band because it’s different from regular classes, and his online classes because he gets to leave school for them.
Wedemeyer is involved in band, mock trial, academic decathlon, speech, play, soccer and student council. He has learned time management skills and how to balance his activities. He also volunteers at Meals for the Heartland and vacation bible school.
He plans to attend the University of Iowa and will most likely major in something in the medical field. Wedemeyer’s advice to others about life is to not take anything too seriously.
Wedemeyer is honored to be the student of the month, and believes he was chosen because someone put in a good word for him.
In recognition of Wedemeyer’s achievements, Racoon Valley Bank is donating $100 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)
