The Red River Parish School Board honored their Students of the Month for October last Wednesday at the school board meeting.

Fourth grade teachers selected Sage Demery as the Elementary Student of the Month. They said, “Sage consistently demonstrates kindness, responsibility, and a strong commitment to learning. She is always willing to help others, works hard, and takes pride in doing her best. Sage welcomes feedback, learns from it, and consistently displays a positive growth mindset.”

The Red River Middle School Student of the Month is Richard Phillips. His teachers described him as “truly a blessing to have in the classroom.” Each day, he brightens the room with his warm smile, cheerful spirit, and heartfelt hugs that make everyone feel valued. His kindness is genuine, and his positive attitude is contagious. Richard comes to school eager to learn and always gives his best. He takes pride in his work, encourages his classmates, and is always willing to lend a helping hand.”

Jessica Williams was selected as Student of the Month from Red River High. Her teachers described Jessica as “a kind, hardworking and respectful student who consistently brings positivity to our school.” She has a caring heart and is always willing to lend a helping hand, support her classmates, and get involved in school activities. Jessica approaches every opportunity with enthusiasm, dedication, and a strong desire to do her best. Her positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to serve others make her a wonderful role model for her peers.”

Each year students from schools in the parish are selected by their teachers to be the Student of the Month. Joining Superintendent Alison Strong and the students honored are Michael Braswell and John Brewer representing the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post. Each student is presented a certificate and gift card. The Student of the Month program is sponsored by Coushatta VFW Post and Auxiliary 7287 and Lott Oil/Shop-A-Lott.
