High School November Student of the Month - Craig Rutschman
Craig Rutschman, is the son of Kara and Kevin Rutschman, and has been awarded November Student of the Month.
Craig was asked why he felt he was chosen and he said, “I believe I was chosen for my involvement in classes and the conversations I build and fuel inside the classroom. I bring passion in the classroom on topics that interest me by putting my opinions out to strike a conversation. I feel I could be friends with everybody in the school with my open connections with others. I would like to give thanks to the staff for choosing me to be November Student of the Month.”
Craig is a junior who’s involved in Cross Country, Basketball, FBLA, FCCLA, and Drama Club
Mr. Hirsch believes Craig was chosen because,” he has been coming out of his shell even more! He has been trying new things and still working hard in classes. Craig in the play shocked and amazed everyone that came. He was the perfect Seymour Krelborn in “Little Shop of Horrors”. It was great getting to work with him on his acting and singing. I can’t wait to see what Craig does next!”
Reminder that tonight’s middle school games are at Canton Galva.
