Each month, Beresford Middle School staff nominate students to earn a Student of the Month recognition. Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student is eligible provided the student is nominated by a staff member based on consistent, meaningful, and intentional behaviors that align with DAWGS Expectations. Congratulations to the following August/September Student of the Month recipients: (left to right in the picture) Garrison Zweifel, Carilee Andrews, Creed Ostrem, Jacek Cottrell, Bethany Hoffman, and Sherlyn Torres Cano! Also, thank you to Sgt. Bullis for presenting our recipients with a certificate on behalf of the Beresford Police Department.
