Impressive Students

At Kilbourne we have so many students who are impressive in ways big and small.  You stand out in your own ways, but I need to highlight 3 of my students who have been recognized for their recent accomplishements.

Kuric Buell qualified for the State Wrestling Touranment again this year!  This is such a huge accomplishment and his countless hours of hard work and dedication (not to mention being focused on what he was eating so that he could remain in his weight class) all led to this moment.  Congratulations Kuric! 

Just before spring break started several WKHS football players celebrated their intention to compete in football at the collegiate level.  One of these students is Kaleb Dave.  Kaleb has decided that he will attend Capital University.  Capital is lucky to have Kaleb joining their campus community.  Not only will he be a contributor on the athletic field, but he will also make an impact in the classroom.  Kaleb shared a beautiful, touching speech to thank those who have supported him in his efforts to reach this moment.  Congratulations Kaleb!

And then, over Spring Break, Josh Blankenship was invited to a ceremony by LaSertoma, a service organization dedicated to be a service to mankind. The organization was recognizing 5 students for their community service involvement and then of those five award winners, they also selected one to move on in a progressive scholarship competition.  Josh was selected as the regional representative so he will now move to the next level to be considered for an even greater scholarship.  The reality though is that this is a small recognition for the significant contribution Josh has made in the lives of others through his various community service outreach.  Congratulations Josh!

Kuric, Kaleb, and Josh, Each of you have made a positive impact and excelled at the highest levels in your respective areas.  I am proud of you and thankful for the difference that you make at WKHS every day!  Congratulations for the well-deserved recognitions!
