Sidney Students Of The Month

Chosen by the Library this month, Madison Gorde is a fifth grader in Mrs. Lovegren’s class. Madison has a deep love for reading and will always venture into new genres, try out new authors and quickly go for the sequel when she’s introduced to a new series. She is a natural leader as she can organize her thoughts and be sure to include others to get group work done. Madison is very helpful and is one of the most polite students at West Side. Working with younger students on their reading a couple times has been great and Madison says she really loves helping out.

Madison’s favorite subjects are math and writing, her hobby is reading, and playing outside with her dog, Holly, is another favorite pastime. She also studies tap and jazz dancing. Madison says when she grows up she would like to be a Book Critic. Her second choice is being a teacher. Madison has a younger sister, Makena, and her parents are Rich and Linda Gorde.

The Social Science department at Sidney High School is extremely pleased to announce Madeline Warner as its unanimous selection for student of the month. She is currently enrolled in the advanced government course. Madeline has also participated in the psychology, street law, world history, leadership, and accelerated U.S. history classes while at SHS. She is active in class discussions and her deep interest into the foundation of our nation, politics, and the function of our government has made her enjoyable to teach. Madeline has been impressive in her content knowledge, work ethic, and ability to synthesize information when applying key aspects of the social sciences. Furthermore, she is articulate, has strong opinions, and debates teachers and students alike. She is currently the president of LEO club and is in contention for valedictorian of her class. Madeline is the daughter of David and Shelee Warner.

The Sidney High School Communication Arts department is pleased to announce Taylor Fay as its February student of the month. Taylor Fay is an active student in Advanced English, enthusiastically participating in class discussions, acting groups, and class activities. Outside of class, Taylor competed in two events at Speech and Drama, performed in the SHS school play (both fall and spring productions), and participated in other activities and clubs. Her enthusiasm for communication arts is displayed on a daily basis.

Taylor is taking her acting abilities to the next level. She recently returned from auditioning for the University of Minnesota acting program. Auditions were held in Los Angeles, and Taylor performed well in this competitive atmosphere. Taylor is the daughter of Mary Fay and Brian Fay. Congratulations, Taylor!
