With the start of each new school year, the Greencastle Exchange Club welcomes the opportunity to recognize an eighth-grade student from Greencastle-Antrim Middle School as its Citizen of the Month. For the month of October Sarah Scheitrum, daughter of Greg and Rachel Scheitrum, was recommended for this honor by her team of teachers. This deserving young student was chosen because she displays the following characteristics: a student who demonstrates good citizenship and judgement, has a positive attitude, is dependable and knows a sense of fairness, and achieves personal academic goals.
Teachers described Sarah as a stellar student who is always prepared for class and holds herself to a high standard. She actively participates during class and naturally encourages other students. When necessary, Sarah provides assistance and suggestions to her peers but always shows respect and kindness. She is a student leader who quickly volunteers to help where she is needed. Her empathy and kindness is also shown when she helps out in the school’s special needs classroom. Sarah plays the clarinet in the school band, participates in chorus, and is a member of the G-A cross country team. Parents of students of this sport also noted her kindness not only with her own team members but the athletes of the other schools.
Outside of the school day, Sarah loves horseback riding, reading, and has a black belt in karate. She also takes music lessons for the clarinet.
Pictured with Sarah are her parents, Rachel and Greg Scheitrum, her sister Greta and Beth Powers, club member and with Greencastle Golf Club and GAMS Principal Gerald Crable.
