The December Student-Athlete of the Month is described as someone who follows through on their word and is very dependable. This student-athlete has not missed a single second of practice and has taken on more responsibility throughout the season. The nominating coach acknowledges that he is harder on this student-athlete than others on the team because of goals and potential he has. This student-athlete embraces this environment and uses it to improve himself. Finally, maybe the only thing this student-athlete is not capable of is complaining and making excuses. He remains coachable even when things have been most difficult. The December Student-Athlete of the Month is Dan McGreal.

On Wednesday #ClaytonCountyBEST students presented Natalie Shea of MercyOne Hospital in Elkader with adorable stuffed animals to give to future pediatric patients. This project was created by the students after they saw a need in our community. Thank you to MercyOne Elkader for working with the students to make this project successful and to Kathy Josten and Bridge Street Boutique for her help in getting the stuffed animals. Also a big shout out to the staff of Central Community School for their generous donations to get this project started. We all hope the stuffed animals do not need to be use, but hope they will bring comfort and joy if their use is needed. Great job, ladies!
