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.
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)
