14 Wednesday, March 11, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Amy Hills Sisters High School February 2019 Student of the Month “I so appreciate how Amy shows up all over SHS. You will see here running a course then running to the sound board for a Choir event. You will see her at indoor track practice in February then suiting up for the Mr. SHS Dodge Ball tournament. She can be found setting up for a dance, and then she will walk in the door with a really varied group of friends and a huge smile on her face. She has this spunky zest for life and helping that I think makes a huge difference in the quality and spirit of events here at SHS!” — Jami Lyn Weber “Amy Hills has a rare energy about her. She exudes so much enthusiasm, but also a calm and trustworthiness. It has been impressive to see her leadership in both Student Government and the AV Club. She brings such value to seemingly every school event. I truly hope both the student body and the administration knows how lucky we all are to count her as an Outlaw.” — Tyler Cranor “One of my favorite memories was when Amy came dressed up as an elaborate self-engi- neered Transformer-ish costume for Spirit Week at SMS. She is a quadruple-threat girl. She is an athlete, a tech wizard, a bright student and most importantly she is very giving and kind. I’ve appreciated her stepping up to be the tech am honored to have had Amy in my Chinese classes for the last three years. She brings a level of enthusiasm and optimism to every- thing she does, which is infectious to the stu- dents around her. Amy, you totally embody Outlaw spirit! Congratulations on achieving this honor. You deserve it!” — David Perkins “Congratulations, Amy! Amy is a hardwork- ing and caring student that brings talent and drive to everything she does. She is also a great example of what makes Sisters so amazing!” — Rick Kroytz “Amy embraces opportunities as they come, with clear determination.

I To say that Amy Hills is an active student at Sisters High School is a vast understatement. Sheʼs president of the Astronomy Club, director of Tech Crew; a mem- ber of Key Club; a member of Faith Club; and a three-sport athlete in track, cross-country, and swimming. And she has a job. Thatʼs on top of a full load of AP classes. “Iʼve been taking really challeng- ing classes, even though Iʼm a senior,” she says. “I donʼt want to let off before college.” Amy is headed to Belgium with three teammates for a science pro- gram, and planning a pre-med major with a minor in mathematics at Biola University, where she will also pursue the Torrey Honors Institute program — a classical “great books” program. For her, motivation is simple: “I really love learning.” person at our Veteran’s assembly and most re- cently giving up her Saturday for the produc- tion of the Snow Queen and running the light board for that. Amy, you are a winner! Con- tinue to dream big!” — Becky Aylor “Amy is a ball of energy bouncing around this school and community making a positive impact with every bounce. She is so skilled in so many ways and has infectious positive energy. Being one of her teachers has been an absolute blessing.” — Daniel O’Neill These businesses have joined The Nugget in supporting our youth and their accomplishments by co-sponsoring the Student of the Month program.
