Sierra Spangler Student of the Month

November 16, 2013

A very busy and talented Bonners Ferry High School senior, Sierra Spangler, is the student of the month selected by the Delta Kappa Gamma Women Educators.

 

Somewhat shy as a freshman and sophomore, Sierra has become more social as she has engaged in activities both in school and out. Very active in the 4H 4program, she is raising a steer and especially enjoys showing her horse, participating in barrel racing, open class and jumping.

 

Her registered quarter horse coincidentally comes from a long line of the name “Sierra” and thus is called Sierra Two by Miss Spangler.

 

Sierra describes school as a safe and comfortable place for her as a self motivated student. She uses her musical talents by playing in the band, jazz band, pep band and symphonic orchestra. Her artistic talent is reflected in her trans realistic paintings, in which she enjoys painting abstract horses.

 

Her favorite classes have been the math classes and this year she takes calculus from Mr. Saboe, who she describes as “awesome." All of her achievements include maintaining a four point grade average.

 

As her senior project she has job shadowed the veterinarian technician at the vet clinic. Her future goal is to become a veterinarian by starting out at NIC and transferring to Washington State University.

 

Sierra’s parents, Chris and Kelly Spangler, have supported and influenced her in her many endeavors.
