MARSHALL -- Marshall Public Schools honored this school year's first group of students for the Tiger Spotlight recognition this week.
Tiger Spotlight is held once a month during a Marshall School Board meeting, and recognizes one student from each MPS school site. Students are nominated by faculty and school staff members. On Monday, the school board recognized Miles Miller, Tiahna Zeug, Bethany Goodrich, Musab Sheikh Salah, and Bri Holland.
Members of the Marshall School Board read nominations written by faculty and staff for each Tiger Spotlight student.
Miller's nomination from Park Side Elementary faculty and staff said he began the school year excited to learn, and he has demonstrated strong leadership skills in reading, writing and math. The nomination said Miller is "a wonderful role model for his classmates, consistently showing them how to be respectful, responsible and safe."
The nomination said Miller contributes to classroom discussions, loves helping others, and is someone who can be depended on.
Zeug was nominated for Tiger Spotlight by Southview Elementary teacher Danielle Thor.
"Tiahna has a very kind heart. She has been seen already this year inviting others to join in different activities out at recess. She also works hard to do her best in class and is eager to be challenged," the nomination said. Zeug was also a student of the week at Southview for showing positive traits in and around the school.
Goodrich's nomination said she stood out for having a positive, caring and responsible personality.
"She is thoughtful and always willing to lend a hand," the nomination said. The nomination said Goodrich participates in class, volunteers readily, and goes out of her way to support her peers. Goodrich balances her academic responsibilities with participation in the MHS Marching Band.
"Her work ethic, kindness and commitment make her a wonderful student," the nomination said.
Sheikh Salah was nominated for Tiger Spotlight by MHS teachers Bessie Scalicky and Brianne Marlyn.
"Musab always pays attention in class, wants to do well academically, and works hard to be successful. In addition to his desire to learn, he is a genuinely nice person who is always willing to volunteer to help other students and is a quiet leader in the classroom," the nomination said.
Sheikh Salah came to MHS midway through his ninth grade year after attending school in Kenya, and attended summer school to catch up on his credits so that he can graduate on time, the nomination said.
Holland was nominated by MATEC teacher Donna Bastemeyer. Holland has started the school year strong, by showing up to class prepared, and engaging in class discussions, the nomination said.
"Her participation demonstrates curiosity and a desire to do well," the nomination said. "Brianna has already established some good habits in the first few weeks (of class). Her positive attitude, consistent effort and willingness to contribute have gotten her off to a great start."
