Ayden Gerber, a senior at Waynesville High School, has been named the WHS Rotary Student of the Month for January. His parents are Jeremy and Kyla Gerber.
Gerber's nominator stated, “Ayden has always put others first. On the soccer team he was the last to leave the field after home or away games, ensuring everything was cleaned up and put away. He has been dedicated to the culinary arts program spending extra time helping in a variety of ways. Ayden wants people to be happy and works to continuously put others before himself.”
Gerber is an outstanding student with a 3.5 grade point average and 96.61% attendance rate for all four years of high school. He is actively involved in soccer at WHS and the culinary arts program at the Waynesville Career Center. Gerber has played varsity soccer his entire high school career and has volunteered at the middle school soccer camps. Through the culinary arts program, Gerber has volunteered countless hours, selling bread for fundraisers and assisting with the Father Daughter Dance. Gerber is currently training to be a part of the SkillsUSA competition. Upon graduation, Gerber plans to use his A+ Scholarship at State Fair and then transfer to Missouri State University. He would like to become a Michelin or private chef. #wayschools

MPRA donates $1,000 to Snack in a Pack
The Military Police Regimental Association recently donated $1,000 to support the Snack in a Pack program at the Waynesville R-VI School District.
“Military Police Soldiers stationed at Fort Leonard Wood or attending courses here have students who attend our schools,” the MPRA stated. “Although it is not public knowledge as to who is a recipient of this program, the MPRA wanted to get involved and assist in the overwhelming need and support of our school district and the community.”
Through donations such as this one from the MPRA, Snack in a Pack provides meals and snacks to more than 450 Waynesville R-VI students over holidays and weekends who might otherwise go hungry.
On behalf of the MPRA President, Col. (R) Chuck Williams, "We can all make a difference!"
Individuals may purchase items on Snack in a Pack’s wishlist on Amazon by going to https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/LHIMQ7EWYF88?ref_=wl_share.
Donations to Snack in a Pack may be mailed to Snack in a Pack, Community Resource Office, 12225 Pulaski Ave, Bldg. 8041, Fort Leonard Wood, MO 65473, or you may call 573-842-2250.
