January Kiwanis Humanitarian Student of the Month: Piper Giles
The Kiwanis Humanitarian Student of the Month for January is Piper Giles. Giles is the daughter of Mike and Jackie Giles and holds a 3.7 Gpa. Her favorite classes throughout highschool have been English because of the light work load, Culinary because she enjoyed the different environment, and independent family living because it was interesting to learn about. In between volunteering in the nursery at her church, Kiwanis, and American Legion, Giles is also involved in Cross Country, Student Council, and Humanitarian Cord. She plans to attend the University of South Dakota and major Nursing. When asked what advice she would give to others Giles said ” Try to hold on. There’s going to be up’s and down’s but you’ll make it through.” She was excited to hear she was Kiwanis student of the month because her mom is apart of the Kiwanis and she is able to represent Kiwanis. Giles thinks that she was honored with this position because of the amount of time she put into volunteering throughout the community in the past years.
In recognition of her achievements the Kiwanis of Adel have donated $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)
