Royal Valley High School Celebrates November Students of the Month
Royal Valley Schools is proud to recognize our November Students of the Month at Royal Valley High School. Each month, our staff nominates students who exemplify hard work, positive character, and true Panther Pride both inside and outside the classroom. Please join us in congratulating these four outstanding individuals for their dedication and leadership within our schools.
• Senior: Josie Shelton
Josie is a dedicated student-athlete who brings an impressive work ethic and high standards to everything she does. Following a knee injury last year, she demonstrated remarkable determination by qualifying for state in cross country this season. In the classroom, teachers note that she is dependable, fun to have in class, and consistently kind to those around her.
• Junior: Kadyn Fitzgerald
Kadyn is recognized for his strength of character, perseverance, and uplifting attitude. Known as one of the friendliest and most positive students at RVHS, Kadyn greets his teachers with a smile and genuinely checks in on others every single day. Even when coursework is challenging, he brings a great attitude and strong work ethic to his classes while always looking for ways to help those around him.
• Sophomore: Jayna Kralicek
Jayna is a hardworking and conscientious student who takes great pride in her academic performance and school involvement. Outside of her core classes, she serves as both an FFA officer and an FCCLA officer, manages football, and acts as a proactive, positive member of the yearbook staff who always anticipates what needs to be done for her spreads.
• Freshman: Riley Noland
Riley sets a wonderful example for our freshman class through her respectful demeanor and consistently positive outlook. She approaches her schoolwork with diligence and is always willing to lend a helping hand to her peers whenever needed.
Congratulations to Josie, Kadyn, Jayna, and Riley!
