A teacher of the month of December is Tammie Smith. She has been teacher for 16 years and has taught at ADM for 12 years.

Aiden Lippencott is the son of Erica and Delaun Lippencott. He has a 3.9 GPA and his favorite classes are Athletic Enhancement, Financial Literacy, and Band. He says he enjoys Athletic Enhancement as it gives him a break from learning in a classroom. Lippencott is involved in track and field, and band. 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. In honor of his achievements Racoon Valley Bank is donating $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.

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.
