Students of the Month

Fitness and Wellness

Raymond Jolley has been selected as student of the month by the Fitness and Wellness Department. Raymond moved to Montana from Wyoming four years ago and likes living in Sidney because he believes the people in Sidney are very supportive and understanding. Raymond is very involved in the wrestling program at Sidney High School and respects his coaches and teammates. What impressed Ms. D is the fact that Raymond is deaf but his disability DOES NOT interfere with his academics and athletics. When I first met Raymond I did not realize he had any physical problem at all because of his attitude toward life which is amazingly positive. Raymond has a very unique personality which enables him to get along with his teachers and his peers. Raymond enjoys hunting, traveling, Boy Scouts and he is involved with many church activities. He also loves learning about government and history because he would like to become President of the United States. Sidney High School is very fortunate to have such a dedicated young man as part of our student body. The Fitness and Wellness Department is proud to acknowledge Raymond Jolley as the student of the month. He is the son of Gary Jolley and Kathleen Jolley.
