The Adrian Optimist Club is pleased to honor Students of the Month from the Miami, Ballard, and Adrian schools. Criteria for this honor center on outstanding academic and civic achievement and school spirit. Staff at each of the schools make the selection, and their decision is based on expansion of these criteria. Selection is based on the criteria, but a student stepping up to a particular task will come to play in it. Each student is honored with a certificate of recognition from the Adrian Optimist Club and $20.00 in Adrian Chamber of Commerce “Chamber Bucks”
Adrian’s January Student of the Month is Clayton Scott Ferguson, senior, son of Brad and JaNell Ferguson. Clayton is an active member of Adrian FFA, FBLA, and basketball team. He stays busy outside of school with 4-H activities. He participates in county and state 4-H judging contests while showing livestock at all levels. Clayton’s inspiration is the saying “It’s all about the timing and angles.” Clayton plans to attend North Central Community College in Trenton, MO to competitive judge livestock and then transfer to University of Missouri to major in Ag Business and Agronomy and continue livestock judging
