Posted
Independent Newsmedia
J.O. Combs Unified School District students of the month for March were celebrated at a recent Governing Board meeting.
The district partners with Banner Ironwood Medical Center to administer the program, according to a release.
The program provides an opportunity each month for one student from each of the district's seven schools to be recognized for demonstrating one of the various pillars of the Character Counts program. One character trait is selected each month and students are selected by their principal or teacher.
Traits in the Character Counts Program include responsibility, trustworthiness, citizenship, caring, respect and fairness. For the month of March, students were recognized for demonstrating the character trait of responsibility.
Students of the month for March include: Roger Gasca, Combs High School, 12th grade; Emiliano "Milo" Canseco III, Combs Middle School, eighth grade; Berlyn Diaz, Combs Traditional Academy, Kindergarten; Serenity F. Dowd, Ellsworth Elementary School, fourth grade; Kendall Bencomo, Harmon Elementary School, Kindergarten; Jordan Convington, Ranch Elementary School, Kindergarten; and Andy Bourgeous, Simonton Elementary School, Kindergarten.
Selected students are celebrated for their achievement with a certificate of recognition at the Governing Board meeting each month where they are acknowledged by Superintendent Dr. Greg Wyman, the Governing Board, and a Banner Ironwood Medical Center representative, according to the release.
