For November, students recognized were:

- Alina Linderman, Ellsworth Elementary, third grade.
- Logan Heck, Harmon Elementary, fourth grade.
- Kendall Bearup, Ranch Elementary, second grade.
- Eva Fuller, Simonton Elementary, second grade.
There is a selection process in place where students are recognized for the various pillars of the Character Counts Program, which include responsibility, trustworthiness, citizenship, caring, respect and fairness, according to a release.
In November the students were recognized for demonstrating the character trait of citizenship.
Sharon Lind, chief executive officer at Banner Ironwood Medical Center, presented each student with a certificate of special recognition. A photograph was taken with the representative from Banner Ironwood, the governing board and Superintendent Gayle A. Blanchard.
The presentation takes place each month at the regular governing board meeting.
