Each month, a qualifying junior is named Westmoreland Kiwanis Student of the Month. Award winners are selected by faculty and staff based on the following criteria:
· Minimum average of 80;
· Good citizenship and character; and
· Active participation in school and community activities.
The Westmoreland Kiwanis Student of the Month for the month of February is Isabella West, daughter of Stefanie and William West.
Isabella is a member of National Honor Society, Team LEAD and the Varsity Softball team. She has also worked for the Bulldog Bookstore, located in the Jr./Sr. High School.
In her spare time, Isabella is a volunteer bell ringer for the Salvation Army’s “Red Kettle Campaign.” She also helps out with numerous fundraisers in benefit of her class, including concessions and the always popular Brooks Chicken Barbecues.
After graduating from Westmoreland Jr./Sr. High School, Isabella plans to attend a four-year college to major in Spanish.
Congratulations, Isabella!
