In March 2014 Kevin Waterworth, a junior at Bowie High School, was elected because his involvement in school activities and good grades. Being chosen as Student of the Month is a great honor and achievement, and only the most deserving students are chosen.
Teachers nominate students on their grades and how much they participate during class. Ms. Stephens, Waterworth's science teacher, nominated him because "he always has great grades and when he has extra time after an assignment, he helps the students that are falling behind."
Students then choose out of ten students who they want to be students of the month. Noah Lawson said he chose Waterworth because "he is a really well rounded student that many people respect and I enjoy the time we spend together during baseball practice."
When the principle announced that Waterworth would be student of the month for March he was very surprised that he got chosen, but at the same time "honored to have gotten the title."
Many times the students who get chosen are treated differently during that month and after. Waterworth said "People have shown me more than respect than they used to."
Students of the month have a chance to do something around school. Waterworth thinks that " in english it should be focused more on reading than writing."
They also get to help and give advice to students that are struggling in classes so Waterworth said that need to "just focus on the work and don't get too distracted." When asked for tips on studing for tests they need to "just go over the material until they know all the material."
Waterworth has been in baseball at bowie for three years and volunteers at the zoo. After high school he wants to go to the University of Texas, in Austin Texas, to be a zoologist.
