Tri-Valley's Abby Wagner named Argus Leader Student of the Week

Our Student of the Week winner for the week of Oct. 4 is Abby Wagner, a senior at Tri-Valley High School.

She was nominated by her principal as part of our efforts to bring back one of our newest initiatives to celebrate high school students across Lincoln and Minnehaha counties.

"As a senior, Abby consistently demonstrates kindness and compassion in all her interactions, making a positive impact on our school community," Principal Chris Larson wrote in his nomination. "She serves as an outstanding role model, inspiring her peers with her supportive nature and willingness to lend a helping hand. Abby's dedication to uplifting those around her truly sets her apart. Her contributions make our school a better place for everyone."

As often as we can have nominations for the rest of the school year, preferrably weekly, we'll be using a Student of the Week poll to recognize such students, and you get to help determine who we should recognize.

The nominations are sent in by area principals and superintendents. We collect them, and then share them for a short voting period between Monday mornings through 5 p.m. Thursday evenings, when the poll closes.

Come Fridays and in the weekend print edition, you'll see who the winner is, and we get to highlight their accomplishments.

While we think of all these students as winners, and we want to showcase your great students and your great school, it's your vote that helps make this special. And we need your participation to make this happen.

In the meantime, congratulations Wagner!
