The Most Improved Student of the Month was announced at Monday’s meeting of the Red River Parish School Board. He is Arcadious Whitaker, a first grader at Red River Elementary.

Nikki Kelly of the Coushatta office of Farm Bureau presented the certificate to Whitaker. His teacher Wendy Hines nominated Whitaker for his achievements. Hines said when students turn in one or two assignments, Whitaker turns in 5 or more. He has consistently scored “core” on assessments noting that the minimum score need is 130 and Whitaker scored 219.

Hines, in nominating her student, said he is respectful, honest and trustworthy. She called him a joy to teach.
