Twelve Mandan Middle School students were recently named the Team Miners Students of the Semester.

In order to be chosen as a student of the semester, students must have good attendance, including no unexcused absences or tardies, a positive attitude and work ethic, constructive citizenship, from volunteering to participating in school and community activities, an academic standing of a “C” or higher, and have productive participation and contributions in the classroom.

These 12 students were nominated by their core teachers through their selection process. From there, the encore teachers had the opportunity to second the nominations.
