School Board honors Clover Ridge Student All-Stars

Posted on: April 11, 2017

On Monday, the School Board honored Student All-Stars from Clover Ridge Elementary School for their motivation, perseverance, growth, and school and community service.

Clover Ridge students are:

Grace Reynders

Grace Reynders is a very conscientious 2nd grader. She listens to her teachers and follows their directions perfectly. She is more than willing to help others and often asks if there are jobs she might do to help the teachers out as well. Grace is mindful of what is necessary to have a class that is always learning and does her best to honor our learning environment. It’s a joy to look at Grace’s papers as she so often leaves her teachers sweet notes of appreciation. Thank you Grace!

Keagan Hackstedt

Keagan is a Clover Ridge All Star. When there are distractions around him, he remains focused on his work and perseveres in his learning and demonstrating great effort. Keagan is eager to learn new things, especially in math! Clover Ridge wants to thank you for being such a good role model!

Posted on: April 9, 2017

South Albany sophomore Meighan VanVeldhuizen ran a successful campaign to be State Thespian Officer. She was elected by her peers from across the state for the office at the Oregon State Thespian Festival. She is one of four STOs for Oregon.

In addition, Meighan was selected by the state board to be next year’s State Thespian Vice Chair. Only one of the four incoming STOs is chosen for this even bigger honor.

“This is an amazing compliment to Meighan, our program, and SAHS itself,” said drama instructor Benjamin Sell. “Meighan is an incredibly motivated and talented young lady, and I’m so excited to see all the amazing things she’s going to accomplish in this state-level leadership position next year.”
