Ben Smith is Wrestler of the Month for January. Ben is a Freshman this year and the son of Sean and Kerri Smith.
Ben has been wrestling since the first grade. Smith loves the satisfaction of winning his matches and beating other wrestlers.
“It’s pretty cool to be nominated as a freshman,” says Smith.
Ben believes he has been honored as Wrestler of the Month because of the hard work he has put in, and the matches that he has won.
In honor of his achievements, the Adel Health Mart has donated $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)
