January Girls Basketball Player of the Month
Grace Hardcastle is the January Girls Basketball Player of the Month. She is the daughter of Justin and Jennifer Hardcastle.
Hardcastle is a sophomore and has been in basketball all of her life.
She loves that she bonds with her teammates while playing basketball, and enjoys seeing all of their hard work come together.
Hardcastle transferred from Waukee to ADM, and to her, being honored as Athlete of the Month means that she is now part of the Adel community.
Hardcastle believes she has been honored as Athlete of the Month because she has had a lot of success during her games.
In recognition of her achievements, the Adel 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)
