The students, both in sixth grade, were selected by Jefferson staff as part of a program honoring exceptional students during the 2015-16 school year.
“The Jefferson staff chose Caleb and Emi, two students who have been here from kindergarten through eighth grade and are exemplary in their academics and overall character,” Mininger said.

Emi is the daughter of Christine and Greg Halberg.
Students of the Month will be announced at each school’s respective school board meeting.

Contest results
PULLMAN — Marcus Konopaski of Port Angeles was part of a Washington State University construction management program team that took second place in a recent competition.
The regional Associated Schools of Construction student competition is the largest in the U.S., according to a news release.
It was the fifth year in a row that the commercial team from WSU has placed in the competition, which is held annually in February in Sparks, Nev.
WSU’s team took second in the commercial category, which included 15 teams from schools in California, Oregon and Washington.
Students were required to develop a proposal for a real-life construction problem in less than 24 hours.
Students used construction management skills, such as scheduling, estimating, site logistics, site safety and technical writing.
The team made a formal presentation and participated in a question- and answer-session with judges.
Other student teams members included Brad Neudorfer, Michael Ruether, Kate Wallen, Marie Landsverk and Steven Bradshaw.
The alternate was Trevor Leger.
