Nine-to-Five Students Honored
Ottawa County high school students were recognized May 3 at the Twenty-fifth Annual Nine-to-Five Breakfast held at the Mon Ami Restaurant in Port Clinton. The purpose behind this breakfast is to recognize "improvement" in students in attitude, attendance, academics, or overall school performance. One student is selected from each grade (10, 11, 12) at each high school in
Douglas Crooks, Superintendent for North Point Educational Service Center, Judge Kathleen Giesler, Juvenile and Probate Courts, and Commissioners Mark Coppeler and Mark Stahl recognized each student on their persistence and attitude in setting and maintaining personal goals for the year.
