January Fine Arts Student of the Month – McKayla VerWoert
McKayla VerWoert is one of ADM’s January Fine Arts Students of the Month. She is a junior and is the daughter of Jim and Eileen VerWoert.
Other activities shes involved in are Theatre, Speech, Choir and Jazz Choir. From them she’s become more comfortable with public speaking and more confident in her vocal abilities.
Some leadership roles that VerWoert tackles are being the soprano section leader in ADM’s “Varsity” choir, and the lead role in last semesters musical, The Addams Family.
VerWoert thinks that people should participate in the activities she does because “It’s a great way to meet people in other grades and it is also a good way to improve your speaking skills, which can help you later in life.”
VerWoert thinks that she’s being recognized as Fine Arts Student of the Month because shes very involved in fine arts activities and always has been, and she’s glad that her achievements are being recognized.
In honor of her achievements, Lincoln Savings Bank has donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Fund.
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.
