Celebrating Our Student of the Month:
Jacob Ward

October

“My name is Jacob Ward, I am a son of William and Kristina Ward. I am honored to be recognized by the Colfax Chamber of Commerce Student of the Month. I have participated in athletics like Golf, Swimming, and Cross Country over the course of my High School Career. I am part of the FCCLA Chapter of Colfax, I take part in the School Musicals and in the Schools Concert band as well as their Jazz band. For Concert/Jazz Band I play Trumpet, Piano, and the Alto Sax. I learned trumpet at the beginning of my Junior Year hear and with the help of the Band Director Mr. Morgan and his Student Teachers, I was able to receive an Outstanding Musician award for playing at an event we traveled to.

When I am not in school I work Part-Time at Colfax’s Pharmacy as a Cashier. I have worked as a lifeguard in the past until the pool went under construction. After High School, I plan to go over to Europe for a few weeks over the summer to play music for a chance to travel the world, then go into the Military for ROTC and schooling in multiple fields, including, Auto Mechanic, and Animal Veterinarian. Once again I am grateful to the Colfax Chamber of Commerce for their recognition of me.”

Congratulations Jacob!
