Wednesday, December 11, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon CONNOR CROWE Sisters High School November 2019 Student of the Month Connor Crowe always gives his best. That was the course he set himself on when he came to Sisters from Tillamook in his freshman year: He would work hard and try to get as much as possible out of his classes. “I decided I was going to get better at that and excel,” he said. Itʼs worked for him. The friendly, opti- mistic student has an abiding love for a school that he feels delivers for its students. “For being that small a school, we have so many opportunities,” he said. “Itʼs a great, quality school.” Connor is captain of the swim team and will play golf in spring. Heʼs taking avia- tion classes and may continue to pursue that in the program at COCC. He loves the outdoors and mountain-biking and snowshoeing with his dad. He also volun- teers for tech and media work at Westside Church in Sisters. The future is uncertain at the moment, but whatever his path, Connor will con- tinue to strive to excel. “Iʼm trying to diversify my interests right now, so it depends on where those go,” he said. “But Iʼm definitely going to college.” “Connor embodies what it means to be an Outlaw. He is kind, caring, conscien- tious, hard-working, and always eager to help others. It has been a pleasure having Connor in my classes, I look forward to see- ing what amazing things he accomplishes in the future.” – Sheryl Yeager “It is truly amazing to see how Connor has become such a confident and loving young man. Connor was nervous when he came to Sisters, but he overcame any anxieties and evolved into a man who knows what he wants and what he can do. He truly is a gift to Sisters and an illustration of perseverance. Iʼm proud of him, and itʼs obvious the staff recognized the same when they nominated him for this award.” – Joe Hosang “It has been so wonderful to see Connorʼs growth as an Outlaw these last four years. He has been hard-working and persevering and thoughtful, both academically and person- ally. He chooses to take on challenges and to stay positive. Connor is also great about taking the initiative when he sees something that needs done or someone that needs help. I cannot wait to see how he makes a difference in the world.” – Jami Lyn Weber “I am pleased that we are honoring Connor. What a wonderful role model he is! He is a person who has great perseverance. He is diligent about his assignments and is always engaged in class. I can count on Connor to participate in class discussions, ask thought- ful questions, and to take constructive criti- cism when necessary. He takes his learning seriously and strives to perform at a high level, making sure that his work reflects his best effort. Honestly, he is just a good per- son who makes others better. He really is a gift to all who know him.” – Samra Spear “Connor is a hard-working, respectful, and appreciative student. He is an abso- lute joy to work with. He is the kind of kid we hope to raise our boys to be like. Good job, Connor! I am so very proud of you.” – Daniel OʼNeill “Connor Crowe has played golf for me for the last 3 years and he is just a beautiful kid to be around. I donʼt know him outside of the links, but because he is so conscientious Iʼm sure he is a great student. The game of golf beats us all up but Connor continues to look for the secret!” – Bill Mitchell “Connorʼs positive, can-do attitude inspires his peers and adults alike. Connor is quick with a smile and a kind word, mak- ing those around him feel welcome. He takes his education seriously, often leading discus- sions with high-level questions that heightens the learning of the entire group. I have really appreciated getting to know Connor. We are fortunate he is an Outlaw!” – Rima Givot “Connor is the type of person who makes coaching a wonderful experience. Over his four years on the swim team, he has gone from a non-swimmer to one of the most confident and competent swimmers on the team, as well as a captain of the team. He works hard at every practice and always goes above and beyond to help in any way he can. It has been a joy to watch his confidence grow over the years. His work ethic will serve him well in everything he does but, most importantly, he is kind to everyone, all the time. I will definitely miss him when he graduates!” – Bryn Singleton These businesses have joined The Nugget in supporting our youth and their accomplishments by co-sponsoring the Student of the Month program.
