Fourth quarter Students of Excellence at Pequot Lakes Middle School are Grant Kotaska, Elli Saxerud, Landon Reisdorf, Payton Schlosser, Rhiannon Larson, Thomas Brewer, Jake Anderson and Nessa Engen.

The Student of Excellence award is for students who are performing at the top level of excellence at school. Teachers select students who rise to the expectations of the middle school, which believes in PRIDE — Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Discipline and Excellence.

These students not only do this in the classroom, they are role models outside the classroom as well.

Pequot Lakes Middle School Artists of the Fourth Quarter are Ashlynn Reynolds, Tim Ryan, Will Middleton, Naarah Neumann, Brandon Johnson, Sophia Palmer, Morena Hammer and Josh Lindstrom.

These students have shown great artistic skills and have had a positive attitude toward learning. Although all students at this level are still developing their artistic talents, the award is given to students who have gone above and beyond what is asked of them to complete a project. 

They have continuously demonstrated their love of being artistic.
