The Miamisburg City School District May Student of the Month is Mark Twain Elementary School fifth grade student Rebekah Coffman. She was nominated by her teachers Patti DeMott and Joi Dorsten and Mrs. Kniess . They said "Rebekah is an exceptional young lady. This school year has provided many challenges for all learners and for some, has proven to cause some gaps in learning. In spite of this year's challenges, Rebekah has grown tremendously. Rebekah has made a significant amount of improvement in her reading, writing, and math skills. She consistently turns in quality assignments, asks for help when she needs it, recognizes things that help her to be a better learner, and even takes on the role of "teacher" to support her peers. Rebekah successfully uses mindfulness strategies that allow her to maintain a positive attitude and better her learning. She reminds and encourages her classmates that "it is okay to not know, but it is not okay to not try". Rebekah's hard work has helped her to make great strides in her own learning. While Mark Twain was learning remotely, Rebekah never missed a classroom Google Meet. She always made great contributions even though the virtual classroom experience was necessary. She turned in every assignment. She was the perfect example of tenacity and perseverance as we all faced obstacles to instruction and learning.

Not only does Rebekah show maturity and responsibility in her schoolwork, she is always respectful to everyone she meets. She greets all of her teachers in the morning with a sunny "How are you today?" She always asks adults if they've had a good lunch. She is consistently the first person to offer to help an adult or a peer. Her compassion for others resonates wherever she goes. She is helpful and kind on the playground and in the classroom. She demonstrates the attribute of Peacemaker as she strives to always include others in her play. Rebekah's daily smile, positive attitude, and cheery disposition make it clear that she loves school.

Rebekah's hard work, perseverance, and kindness deserve to be recognized!"
