W-A-Y Watervliet High School Students of the Month
The W-A-Y program recognizes two students each month for their dedication to their educational goals. Although they feel that all of their students are awesome, they simply wanted to recognize two students each month for their accomplishments. Sometimes a little recognition can go a long way.
These students were selected by the W-A-Y staff in recognition of recent progress, attendance, communication, attitude and overall devotion to themselves and their educational goals.
The two students for December are Alex Schneider and Madison Harris.
Alex Schneider joined the program in the fall of 2013 as a sophomore and has been meeting the expectations of the program in that time. He has turned in over 200 projects and finished many credits. He has worked diligently over the past 30 days to push himself to finish. Alex is very close, needing just a little under a credit. Last year, Alex wrote the radio ad for the WAY program that was aired through 103.7FM.
Alex’s parents are Ronald Thacker and Darlene Schneider. Alex’s hobbies include writing comic books. He currently works at Taco Bell and wants to attend Southwestern Michigan College after graduation this May. His career goal is to become a graphic novelist. Great job Alex!
Madison Harris joined the W-A-Y program in the fall of 2016 and has recently finished the program. Madison set a goal to be done by the end of December. She worked very hard to meet that goal. She has satisfied the graduate requirements and will receive her diploma! Her parents are Karah Harris and James Harris.
She currently works at McDonald’s and in her free time loves singing and taking care of her cats. Her career goal is to attend school and enter a veterinary tech program because she loves working with animals so much! Great job Madison!
