Members of the Kansas City, Kan., Board of Education recognized (l-r) Emily Jimenez-Olivares, third grade student at McKinley Elementary School and Ravone Franklin, eighth grade student at West Middle School, as Students of the Month for the month of December 2009 at their meeting on Tuesday evening, Dec. 8.

Emily Jimenez-Olivares was nominated by her teacher, Cynthia Stockwell. 

In her nomination form, Stockwell wrote that Emily "works very hard on all her assignments and is very well liked by her peers."  Emily wants to study education in college and become a teacher.

Teacher Ann Hill nominated Ravone Franklin. 

Hill is also Ravone's advocate. 

"Ravone is an excellent example of a kid with great heart, determination, and has figured out what he wants and knows how to get there," said Hill in her nomination.  "(He) is a leader, respected by his peers and teachers alike." 

While Ravone wants to be a football player when he grows up, he's also considering a career in construction, or as a mechanic.
