Wednesday, February 3, 2021 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 17 Rachelle Dale Sisters High School January 2021 Student of the Month “Rachelle is a driven, intelligent, and compas- sionate student, which is why she’s made such a positive impact on our school. In the classroom, she shares her quiet wisdom in ways that are thought- ful and respectful. On the cheer team, she leads her peers by setting a positive example. In the commu- nity, she cares for her classmates by spearheading the Sources of Strength program. Simply put, Rach- elle makes our school better each and every day, and she truly deserves this honor. Congratulations, Rachelle!” — Matt Bradley “Rachelle Dale is a ROCK STAR in the music de- partment. Rachelle’s talented voice and ‘can do’ at- titude help to lead the altos in the choir each day. She has also written several beautiful songs in the Americana Project songwriting class. Last year, Rachelle performed the hilarious, show-stopping role of the evil gym teacher in the Sisters High School production of the musical Freaky Friday. Rachelle is an absolute joy to have in class. She always asks in- telligent questions that help increase her knowledge and the knowledge of all the students around her. Congratulations, Rachelle!” — Rick Johnson “Rachelle is such a winsome person. She is hard- working, thoughtful, and positive. Her can-do spirit has made a difference here at Sisters High School.” — Jami Lyn Weber “Rachelle is one of the kindest and most thought- ful students I have ever had the pleasure of teach- ing! She is so creative with her generosity and small surprises from her have often brightened my days.” — Rebekah Dunkle “Rachelle is a terrifi c student that goes beyond the regular expectations and always does her best work. She always makes that extra effort in every- thing she is involved in.” — Rand Runco “Rachelle is such an amazing student and won- derful human being. Not only has she excelled in the classroom, but she is also just such a ray of light to everyone around her. Her unfl agging upbeat atti- tude and willingness to go out of her way to help others is a great example to all of us. Rachelle em- bodies everything it means to be an Outlaw. Con- gratulations, Rachelle!” — Gail Greaney “When dealing with a setback in my life, I remem- ber someone once telling me that the really truly happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery when he/she has to take a detour. Rachelle comes to mind because she makes an intentional effort to look for the positive in every situation. She holds her head high and presses on, no matter what. I not only witnessed this in her as a student in my classes, but also when we traveled to Belize for a student trip. She could always be counted on to have a good attitude, be present in each moment, and to embrace every opportunity. In addition, she mindfully chooses to make others better.

She demonstrates a wonderful mix of deep care for oth- ers, fantastic fun humor, and sincere leadership by example. She is humble and often underestimates the power she has to have a positive infl uence on others. She takes the time to make those around her feel cared for.

Pine, Sisters • 541-549-4349 CCB#87587 Rachelle Dale likes to be involved in her school. That means she’s Captain of the Cheer Team, a member of Key Club and on the yearbook staff. She participates in Link Crew and the national Sources of Strength youth suicide prevention program. For Rachelle, that level of engagement just comes naturally — and she’s willing to lead or follow as the circumstances dictate. “I become a leader when they need a leader,“ she said. In her academic pursuits, music and English are where she’s most at home. “Those are probably my favorites,” she said. “I like the creativity of them. There’s lots of places you can go, and there’s few set rules.” Rachelle appreciates the exceptional opportuni- ties Sisters High School has afforded her — multiple music classes, woods, IEE — and she greatly appre- ciates how connected and caring her teachers are. Rachelle is looking at liberal arts colleges on the East Coast. “I’m hoping to go into psychology and become a farm psychologist or go into environmental psychol- ogy,” she said.
