Upsala Sr. High April Student of the Month – 2012

The staff of Upsala High School is very proud to announce that Danica Cheney is our April Senior High student of the Month. It is very easy to understand why Danica Cheney’s advice to her peers is to “stay organized and have fun,” because she is an extremely busy freshman. She has a very active life both inside and outside of school and staying organized is a necessity for her.

Danica is involved in three sports, volleyball, basketball and track. She played as part of the Prairie Conference winning Varsity Volleyball team. She has also been active in drama, participating in both the fall play and the spring musical. During both her 7th and 8th grade years she was elected president of her class. She has served the past year as Secretary of the Student Council body and has been elected to serve as the Treasurer next year.
Outside of school, Danica is involved with her church. As a member of her church’s youth group, she has packaged food for needy nations as part of the Kids Against Hunger Campaign. On some Sundays she works in the nursery taking care of small children.
She succeeds academically and makes the A honor roll consistently. She has also been Math, Science, Art in the Home and Music student of the month.
When Danica has time for herself, she can be found at home with her parents, Dan and Denise Cheney, her two brothers Brett and Aaron or spending time with her friends.
Danica’s willingness to work, organizational skills, dedication and academic achievement make her an excellent student to emulate.
