DMS Assistant Principal Lisha Elroy call students and teachers down for the monthly awards today.
Gage Puckett, a sixth-grade student, was recognized with the theme award. This year’s theme is “We Rise by Lifting Others.” Puckett was given the award because he and Ely Gray helped raise money so a girl could get a Chromebook.
“He just wanted to get her a Chromebook because she was the only one without a Chromebook,” he said.
The students of the month included:
Sixth grade: Jaycee Lohrer, Ayden Belveal, Julia Wilson and Adel Mohammad.
Seventh grade: Cullen Stevens, Tori Robinson, Gabby Pilgrim and Dawson Mullins.
Eighth grade: Taylor Chambless, Ayden Thompson, Brevin Hampton and Carsyn Etheridge.
Teachers of the Month: Melissa Mayo, Dawn Haas and Heather Copeland.
Theme Award: Gage Puckett, Ely Gray, Ariana Montoya, Rhianna Bible and Patty Winegarden.
Brevin Hampton said he was happy to be one of the eighth-grade students of the month.
“It feels,” Hampton said. “It’s the first time I’ve gotten it in my middle school career.”
