Charles Craigmile was nominated as one of the November’s Kiwanis Students of the Month. Craigmile is the son of Gary and Angel Craigmile. He is a participant in football, wrestling, rugby and soccer. Sports have taught him lessons in teamwork, dedication and help him make the most of his high school career.

Craigmile’s favorite classes include French, math, and Small Engines. French allows him to learn another language and try new foods, math helps him use his brain and challenges him, and Small Engines helps him use common knowledge.

After high school, Craigmile plans to join the Marines, then go to a community college, and later transfer to a university.

Craigmile’s advice to others is “keep working, don’t get behind, and always smile because it will be easier.” He believes he was noticed for his hard work and because he “kept a good attitude in class and stays on top of things.”

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