Mikayla Klein, September Cross Country Athlete of the Month
Mikayla Klein is the September Girls Cross Country Athlete of the Month. She is the daughter of Brett and Sue Klein, and is currently in her senior year.
Klein has been running cross country since her sophomore year. She loves the sport for her team and the atmosphere it gives.
To her, being an Athlete of the Month shows she’s been recognized for bringing a lot of positive energy to the sport. “If people are having bad days I try and go up to them and talk to them, and try to make cross country fun and enjoyable to everyone in it,” and she is committed to keep doing so.
In recognition of her achievements, Rotary Club 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)
