BROWNSTOWN — The Brownstown Central Community School Corp. board of trustees recognized the Braves of the Month during a meeting Tuesday night at the administration office.

Those honored were third-grader Olivia Blevins, sixth-grader Lillian Bowers and senior Addisyn Osborne.

Brownstown Elementary School Principal Marty Young introduced Blevins and her family on hand for the meeting. He then read Blevin’s nomination letter from her teacher, Kourtney Hoevener.

“I chose Olivia for student of the month because she is hardworking and a very responsible student,” Hoevener wrote. “Olivia always does her best on any assignment or task she is handed. She participates in class and she is always willing to help other students and myself. Olivia is a wonderful student to have in class. I am so proud of her.”

Speaking for himself, Young said Blevins is a special little girl who always smiles and improves other people’s days.

“She is pleasant to be around and always willing to offer a helping hand,” he said of the Little Brave of the Month. “She is a good representation of what “The Brave Way” looks like at BES. Olivia, thanks for being you.”

Joe Sheffer, principal at Brownstown Central High School, said the school’s choir/musical department had selected Osborne as the Brave of the Month.

“Addi is a kind-hearted soul with a passion for music, theatre and encouraging others,” Sheffer said as he read Osborne’s nomination letter written by music teacher Stephanie Brock.

“She has been an asset and ray of light since joining the music program,” Brock wrote. “Her willing heart and constant smile adds an element of comfort that so many others need on a daily basis. I am grateful for her presence and positivity.”

Doug McClure, principal at Brownstown Central Middle School, introduced Bowers and her family members before reading from Bower’s nomination letter from the sixth-grade teachers.

“Middle school can often be a challenging task for many students learning lockers, new teachers and different classrooms,” they wrote. “Lily, however, handled the transition with ease. She manages her time well, is organized and is conscientious in her work.”

“Lily is responsible in her classes when it comes to turning in all of her assignments, which has led her to being on-level for every level review. She is also a perfect example of someone who exemplifies our school’s three ‘R’s.’ Not only is she kind and helpful to those around her in the classroom, but she goes out of her way to take notes and get copies for classmates who are absent. Lily is also respectful toward teachers.”

She does an amazing job of collaborating with her peers on partner work and providing helpful feedback on assignments. Lily is resourceful because she might not always know the answer, but she can more than likely figure out how to get the answer. She is a thinker and a problem-solver. Lily is an honest student who is always willing to answer questions, participate in class discussions, ask questions when she is confused or needs some clarified, and most importantly she’s excited to learn.

“Lily displays these qualities both in the classroom and in athletics as she was a member of the sixth-grade girls basketball and plays club volleyball.

“Lily is the kind of student who a teacher would feel comfortable leaving in charge of a classroom if the teacher had to step out of the room. These are just some of the reasons why the sixth grade team is very excited to award Lillian Bowers for an outstanding sixth-grade year. Keep up the great work, Lily. We are proud of you.”
