Congratulations to Ovid-Elsie High School’s Student of the Week, freshman Kane!

Kane was nominated by Ms. Hoffman saying, "Kane always has such a great attitude every day when he comes to class. He is always willing to participate and was very helpful this fall with both of our large community service projects of the FFA. Additionally, he is always willing to take on some of the jobs in raising our meat birds that others may not want to do.” Kane enjoys spending time outdoors, working on his tractor, and driving around getting things done around the house. One of his goals is to fix up his grandpa’s old truck with his dad so they can make lasting memories together. After graduation, Kane plans to go to college to earn his CDL and a degree in diesel mechanics. His dream is to start a farm with his dad, where his dad can drive the trucks and he can repair them. This recognition is a testament to your Marauder character, demonstrating what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and always striving to Be Your Best!
