Upsala Junior High Student of the Month

The Upsala High School staff would like to recognize the October Jr. High Student of the Month, Darius Westrich. Darius is the son of Byron and Trudy Westrich. He has five siblings: Delaney, Danica, Dunkin, Darla, and Damon.
Darius has worked very hard this year as an eighth grader. One of his favorite classes is math. Which is enjoyable for him because he has always worked well with numbers. Besides schoolwork, Darius is involved in football, basketball and baseball. When Mr. Westrich takes a break from his studies, you may find him doing one of his favorite activities, basketball. High school graduation is a long way off, but he would like to keep basketball coaching or playing as an option for his future.
When not in school Darius can be found shooting hoops or spending time with his family in rural Upsala. When asked, “What advice do you have for your classmates?” he replied, “If you study, do your homework, and try your best, you will get good grades.” This advice is evident in class.
Mrs. Cheney states, “Darius is very deserving of this honor. He uses his class time very wisely and works hard. He is continuously getting his work done so he can use his free time at home for other things. He plans accordingly and gets as much of his homework done in school as possible while still having fun. He is a hard worker that always has a smile.”
Congratulations to Darius for achieving this honor. The staff at Upsala hopes that you continue in your success this year and in the future.
