Littlestown Area SD honors students of the month across grade levels

The Littlestown Area SD board on Monday recognized several students of the month spanning kindergarten through high school, praising academic achievement, leadership and extracurricular contributions.

Kindergarten student Noah David Allen was introduced by his teacher, Miss Kelly, who said Noah “is a wonderful student role model and always walks in with positive attitude,” highlighting his core-value award for self-control and enthusiasm in class and on the playground. Third-grade student Lana Schultz was presented as a conscientious learner and leader who “embraces all the core values,” according to a presenter who announced her award and noted she resides in Gettysburg.

Middle-school and high-school recognitions included Aiden, an eighth-grade student lauded for volunteering and student-council leadership, and Emily Nodemacher, the high-school November student of the month. A presenter identified as Mister Becker noted Emily’s involvement in AP coursework, the allied health program, student council and FBLA; he also said she scored her 100th career point in field hockey and helped raise awareness about mental health through the Morgan’s Message game. Ian, introduced as a scholar-athlete, was recognized for strong academics, Advanced Placement coursework and captaincy of the varsity soccer team, and was noted as planning to attend Penn State.

Board members also used the recognition block to flag upcoming school fundraising and logistics: student representatives and staff discussed a basket-auction fundraiser, advertising the event, and arranging photos in the high school lobby.

The recognitions took place during the board’s in-person, Sunshine Act-compliant meeting; no votes or formal motions were recorded in the provided transcript.
