Kiwanis Student of the Month: Emily Ahrens
Emily Ahrens, Senior.
Emily Ahrens, daughter of Karen and Brian Ahrens, was honored as a Kiwanis student of the month. Ahrens has a 4.0 GPA and believes that she was given this honor because she puts a lot of time and effort into school. She is proud to be a Kiwanis student of the month because it shows that she put in hard work and dedication.
Ahrens’ favorite classes at school are Biomed, pre-calculus, and algebra 2. She is going to continue taking classes of that caliber in college, as she is going to major in nursing, and minor in public health. She plans on attending Gustavus Alophus University in Minnesota.
Ahrens’ advice to anyone in high school trying to achieve this honor is to “find something you’re passionate about, and do that.”
In honor of her academic achievements, the Kiwanis Association will be donating $50 to the ADM scholarship fund.
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)
