22 Wednesday, October 7, 2015 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Logan Gill Sisters High School September 2015 Student of the Month Logan Gill is the kind of student who steps up — and he’s pretty humble about it. “I just do what’s needed of me, I guess,” he says. “I like to help out in the community and do what I can, help out in the school.” Logan was a key fi gure in a suc- cessful SHS blood drive — but he’s quick to note that he had a lot of help. He also remember the help he got from upperclassmen when he fi rst came to SHS, and “I try to be that for the other kids,” he says. Logan has played basketball for most of his life, but he chose not to play in high school this year so he can focus on his studies. He readily acknowledges that he wasn’t always the best student — but he’s made a strong effort to turn that around. “In the last year, I realized that I just needed to step it up,” he says. “I had all of these aspirations for things that I wanted to do after high school, and I realized that if I kept getting barely Cs I wasn’t going to get there.” So now he works hard and steps up where needed. And he’s looking into joining the military post-high school. “Logan is a pleasure to have in class. He is kind and friendly. I have already seen growth and maturity in Logan this year and am excited to see what this year brings.” — Samra Spear “I’ve worked at Sisters High School since Logan’s sophomore year, and it’s amazing to see how much he’s grown in such a short amount of time. He’s always been an intelligent reader, talented writer, and critical thinker. He’s also always been a respectful student and person. But as he’s gotten older, he’s become an even better version of himself. For example, he was in my graphic narratives class last spring at SHS, and his insightful comments about literary techniques, artistic styles, and thematic concepts al- ways propelled our class discussions to a higher lev- el. In addition, I routinely rely on Logan to com- plete important projects in our leadership class. Last week, for instance, he helped lead a group of SHS students during our fall blood drive. Be- fore the blood drive, Lo- gan often volunteered at lunch to sign students up to donate. On the day of the blood drive, he arrived at school early and worked diligently all day. As we were working on the blood drive, I found myself asking him for guidance and advice—not the other way around. In short, Logan is a responsible, caring student who de- serves this honor, and I feel lucky to have worked with him over the last three years.” — Matt Bradley These businesses have joined The Nugget in supporting our youth and their accomplishments by co-sponsoring the Student of the Month program.
