Three students at Eagan High School have been identified in the final quarter of the year by the Eagan Rotary Club for their personal character qualities. Guided by a panel of teachers and counselors, the students of the month for March, Madelyn Ogorek, for April, Natalie Windels and for May, Bailey Jacoby. This designation was based on their school and community activities, attitudes and accomplishments that displayed the Rotarian values of honesty, community investment and consideration of others.
“Rotary is pleased to identify these three students for the last segment of the year,” said Steve Conlin, Realtor® with Edina Realty and the chair of Student of the Month committee over the past four years. “It is the mark of a strong community and strong parents to foster students such as these.”
For March, Ogorek showed throughout high school increasing leadership and accomplishment in sports, speech competitions, French Club and volunteer efforts with the Interact Club and assisting the teacher with paperwork and tutoring students in Advanced Placement U.S. History courses.
Windels is the student of the month for April. In academics she received recognition for her ACT and Advanced Placement test scores. She also received notoriety with Academic All-State, National World Language Honor Society. Over many years, she continued athletic involvement in track and field, and soccer. In soccer, she earned recognition as State Champion, All State and All Conference and Team Captain. She was involved in student government, the National Honor Society, Spanish Club, Jazz Band and Interact Club. She was employed during high school years with various child and pet sitting responsibilities and assisting the EAA Staff and teaching young children track hurdles.
Jacoby is Rotary’s May Student of the Month. For her high school years she achieved a 3.99 GPA and was on the honor roll every year. Athletic activities include track and field, cross country and soccer for which she earned a sportsmanship award. She has volunteered with Interact Club, National Honor Society, and Feed My Starving Children. Outside of school she was a leader in student government, German Club and was confirmed after four years of study at her church.
Steve Conlin works with counselors, teachers and staff at Eagan High School to select the Student of the Month each month during the school year.
Rotary Club of Eagan Recognizes Outstanding Teachers
The Rotary Club of Eagan honored 14 Eagan teachers at their annual Teacher Recognition Luncheon on May 9th at the Lost Spur Golf and Event Center. What started as a grassroots celebration 28 years ago to honor outstanding local teachers has become an annual tradition for the Eagan Rotary. The event recognizes the men and women of Eagan Schools who represent excellence in the teaching profession. Full-time elementary, middle, high school, career and technology, special education teachers, counselors, or media specialists were eligible for nomination. School principals nominated the teacher who made a difference in their student’s lives. To view the list of this year's honored teachers, click here.
