Patrick Origer has been nominated as one of two Kiwanis Students of the Month for December. Origer is the son of Patty and Ed Origer. He maintains a 3.95 GPA and participates in a multitude of activities, including cross country, tennis, HyperStream, band   and large group speech. As for his favorite aspect of these, Origer said “[my activities have provided for] a lot of memories.”

Next fall, Origer plans to attend Iowa State. Origer’s favorite high school classes (Algebra 2 and AP Calculus) will definitely benefit him in his pursuit of an engineering degree. If he’s not busy with his studies or extracurriculars, you might find Origer volunteering at the nursing home, donating his time and piano skills to the residents there.

Origer believes he was nominated because he’s “very involved” in school as well as in the community.

In recognition of Origer’s achievements, Kiwanis of Adel is donating $50 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.
