Senior Sam Kidder was named November Student of the Month during assembly on Wednesday, Nov. 29.  As she presented the award, math teacher Dawn Deibler shared the following remarks: We are often asked what makes a Student of the Month.  The truth is there is no algorithm or formula.  We look for students who embody what it means to be a Panther.
