Logan Meier, son of Heather and Joshua, is the December 2024 Sauk Prairie High School Optimist December Student of the Month. If there is something involving music or theater at Sauk Prairie High School, Logan will be involved with it. He has wholeheartedly embraced the opportunities within the music program. As vocal teacher and Show Choir director Matt Brennan explains, “Logan is a wonderful performer in both marching band, and all things choir. He is often the most interesting person to watch on any of our stages. He has been color guard section leader in our award-winning marching band, as well as a featured dancer in both show choir and musicals. While these performances showcase his ability to move and act, his kindness towards others is what really makes him stand out. Our program would look quite different in his absence.” Logan has also contributed to Sauk Prairie High School culture through participation in Sources of Strength and his leadership in daily announcements. He brings energy and enthusiasm to everything he does, hoping to add joy and light to the lives of others. In the future, Logan is preparing to study history and perhaps become an educator at one of the state universities.

Adam Louis, son of Jason and Cassie Louis, was selected as the December Sauk Prairie Optimist Middle Level Leader. In December, Scott Smith, Sauk Prairie Middle School Spanish Teacher, proudly nominated Adam Louis for the Middle Level Leader Award. According to Mr. Smith, “Adam has been doing such a great job in class this year. He is a curious learner who comes to class ready to learn something new each and every day. Adam collaborates well with his classmates and is always willing to lend a helping hand. I really appreciate his maturity and calm nature. Adam’s positive spirit and focused mindset really help to create a positive learning environment in our classroom and in SPMS as a whole. Adam is a quiet leader amongst his peers and I am truly thankful to have him in my class!” In addition to his academic commitments, Adam participates in the school Chess Team, Art Club, the Eagles Mountain Bike team, and serves as a 6th-grade Mentor. Outside of school, he is involved in 4-H, enjoys mountain biking, and has a passion for arts and crafts, particularly Legos. Looking ahead, Adam is excited about creating his own schedule and choosing more classes in high school. He plans to attend college for engineering or architecture and is interested in traveling whenever possible.
