Claire Snyder is the February’s Dance Athlete of the Month. Snyder is the daughter of Kristine and Scott Snyder. She is in 10th grade and has been dancing for 10 years, since the age of six.
Snyder loves dance because it gets her feelings out and helps her to forget about everything else going on in life, resulting in less stress.
To Snyder, being Athlete of the Month makes her feel special because her coaches, teammates, and the audience are seeing her hard work and dedication to the sport she loves. She believes she has been honored because she’s persistent in going to practices and working hard.
In honor of her achievements, Fareway 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)
