High School January Students of the MonthFebruary 19, 2025The following students were recognized by the Student Council as students of the month for January. Their teachers and administrators weighed in on the decisions. All of the students chosen hold a high standard of academic and personal excellence. They are true examples of the P.R.I.D.E. standards for PBIS at our school.
First, Grace Owens is our selected freshman. Grace is dedicated to all of her studies in school and is looking forward to her honors English class next year. In addition, Grace is a member of the Wayne County Youth Advisory Committee this year. She also is a member of the high school CATS Club. In addition, she plays volleyball and will be playing lacrosse this spring. Grace is also highly involved in her church LCBC in Dickson City. Her faith is a large part of her life. She has always enjoyed helping others and just completed the Unified Bocce Ball season at Western Wayne in which she participated with special needs and regular education students.
“It is such a cool experience,” Grace said. “This is because the atmosphere is always positive.”
Grace aspires to be an agricultural engineer and a student pastor in the future.
Next, Madelyn McClure is our chosen sophomore this month. Madelyn is highly involved in FBLA having been recently elected as the FBLA regional secretary. She will go with Western Wayne FBLA students chosen to compete in states this April. Her event is Introduction to Parliamentary Procedure. In addition, she is an honor roll student involved in many other clubs, sports, and activities at school including: Envirothon, Science Olympiad, PJAS, tennis team, and Unified Bocce Ball. She aspires to be a physician’s assistant.
“I think the time management skills learned through FBLA competitions will help me in the future,” she said. “For one test you get only 40 minutes to answer the questions correctly and this really makes you learn how to think quickly.”
In addition, Zachary Wilbur is this month’s featured junior. He is extremely involved in the performing arts at Western Wayne. He has been in the Pride of Western Wayne Wildcat Marching band since his freshman year playing percussion. This year he serves as a band librarian. Zachary also is highly involved in the school’s Drama Club since his freshman year. This year he serves as the show’s student music director and is an essential part of the club’s creative team that works to create the musical.
In addition, Zachary is a member of NHS and aspires to be a constructional electrician. He is currently working to explore the many college degree paths that could lead him to his end career goal. He is grateful for the many leadership opportunities he has had working in performance arts in high school.
“My leadership roles have taught me a lot about responsibility,” Zachary said.
Finally, Nicole Klim is our senior spotlight this month. Nicole is dedicated to her academic studies and is a member of NHS. She has currently been accepted to three local colleges and wishes to pursue her degree in early childhood education having always enjoyed spending time with children.
“Their personalities are great and the stories they tell are so entertaining,” Nicole said of her time working with kids and babysitting over the years. “I love to watch how children develop.”
Nicole is also highly religious and dedicated to Thrive Church in Honesdale. She enjoys being a part of their youth group and has made many great friendships through being a part of it.
The Western Wayne School District congratulates these January students of the month and wishes them the best in their future endeavors.
