Miamisburg High School senior Alexander Knapp was awarded the Franklin B. Walter Scholarship. The award was presented from the Montgomery County Educational Service Center Wednesday, April 6th at a luncheon at the Dayton Marriott. The stipend is to be used to defray cost for books, fees and other college related expenses for the 2022-2023 school year.

Dr. Franklin B. Walter was the superintendent of Ohio schools and he stressed the importance of scholarship, integrity and involvement. School officials were asked to recommend students who were honest; respectful of others; involved in school/church/community/work activities; and displayed a strong work ethic toward his/her studies. At Miamisburg High School, Alex has participated in Cross Country, Track and Field, and Math and Science Tutoring. He earned AP Scholar with Distinction, and a Scholar-Athlete Award, and is a National Merit Semifinalist. Alex is planning on attending the University of Cincinnati and aspires to major in Electrical Engineering. Upon learning that he had been chosen, Alex was asked to choose a "teacher of influence", who would also be honored. Alex chose Miamisburg High School teacher Jared Lovin.  According to Alexander, the in-depth explanations and interactive labs from Mr. Lovin’s class make learning about science incredibly interesting and rewarding. Alexander credits Mr. Lovin, his Honors Biology, AP Biology, and AP Environmental Science teacher, as spurring his interest and passion for biology.

Congratulations Alex! (Pictured below are Jared Lovin, Alex, and Superintendent Dr. Laura Blessing)

The Miamisburg March District Student of the Month is Isla Hartmann. Isla was nominated by her Jane Chance Elementary School Art, PE, Music and Technology teachers. They said "Isla exemplifies all PBIS expectations as a 5th grader at Jane Chance. The specific one we would like to focus on is her acts of kindness. She truly makes JCE a great place to be!

Isla is a crew member of Jane Chance News Network and has really been able to shine as she leads her school in announcements each day. Isla is a very creative student in Technology class and puts forth effort during and outside of class to complete her projects above the level of expectations.

Isla is a huge Disney fan and loves Disney movies. She is able to share her love for the characters and plots of her favorite movies through class projects. She enjoys traveling to Disney and many other locations with her family. They spend time together playing on the beach and building strong family connections with each other.

Isla steps right up to help in class to be sure all students are included, especially with group work. She touched my heart one day when she observed a student did not have a group to work with and she went right over and asked that student to join her and a friend without being asked. Her ability to read people and know someone's in need was amazing to watch. She's very patient and was able to reteach the skills in class to someone that was struggling on a project.
