Brianna Powers, daughter of Frank and Wendy Powers, is the March Kiwanis Student of the Month.
Powers is a senior at ADM with a GPA of 3.5. Her favorite classes were Culinary Arts because she got to make food and eat it, as well as Health 1 because she got to watch interesting videos. She also enjoyed Algebra 2 because it challenged her and Mr. Goodale was her all time favorite teacher.
She is involved in volleyball, track, volunteer club, Student Council, yoga club, and SADD. They have helped her come out of her shell and reach out to other people and she learned how to socialize better.
Powers is attending NIACC next year and does not know what she is minoring or majoring in, but she will be playing volleyball. “Persevere even if you think you are going to fail,” is her advice to others.
Being Kiwanis Student of the Month is an honor to Powers being her hard work is paying off for her years in high school. Powers thinks she was nominated because she is a respected member of the school and her teachers think she deserved to be honored.
In recognition of Powers achievements, Kiwanis of Adel is donating $50 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. 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)
