She called the fifth-grader a great problem solver, collaborator, leader and listener.

“This is a gal who is so positive,” Prahl shared at Wednesday’s breakfast meeting. “She makes the best of every single day.”

Bella, 10,  and her family are residents at Mercy Housing. She has participated in Oak Meadow’s cross country team and is also an anti-bullying advocate. She shows great respect for people and also has a love for animals that will likely translate into a career later in life, Prahl hinted.

Principal Barbara Narez said Bella’s name came up over and over again when deciding which student should receive the Student of the Month honor. Bella received a plaque and $50.
