Congratulations to the RCHS Student of the Month for October, Meredith Baumann! Meredith, a Junior, has a cumulative GPA of 4.0 and is currently a member of Culture Club, Pep Club, SADD, Band, Color Guard, and is a member of the Cross Country and Track teams. She also serves as Treasurer of the Junior Class. Here is what Mrs. Lloyd had to say about Meredith: “Meredith has been an outstanding Color Guard Captain this fall. She takes the initiative to learn all choreography as soon as possible so she can help teach others. For songs that don’t have choreography, she uses her skills and knowledge to create her own that visually represent the music and are achievable for the line. Any adversity she encounters in a leadership position, she takes in stride communicating the issue with trusted individuals, formulates a plan, and implements it. She has incredible leadership skills and a continuous optimistic outlook.”
Mrs. Krohn also reported: “Meredith is incredibly responsible and takes an active role in our school. You can always depend on her and she is great at helping and encouraging others!”
Congratulations Meredith!
