Andrew Flora, son of Jeff and Dawn Flora, has been nominated as one of the Kiwanis Students of the Month for September. He maintains a 3.65 GPA while participating in baseball, football, wrestling and FCA. Flora said his activities have shaped him to be the person he is today, and have sparked “a lot of personal growth.”
Flora’s favorite classes at ADM have been business-related, along with Athletic Enhancement and Geometry. He said these stood out to him because the teachers are fun.
Flora believes he was nominated as a Kiwanis Student of the Month because he’s a hard worker and a good role model.
Although he’s not sure where he’ll attend college, Flora’s set on furthering his wrestling career while majoring in business or sports management. Until then, he’ll live by his own advice: “Just live up high school… go out for as many activities as you can, and get involved. It goes by fast.”
In recognition of Flora’s achievements, Kiwanis of Adel has donated $50 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)
