Flint 68th District Judge Herman Marable, Jr. and his Citizens Advisory Committee announced recently that Chenelle Harkless, Kayla Clymer, Jeremy Brown, Aireonna Wheeler, and Cameron Robinson, have been selected as Judge Marable’s Students of the Month for December, January, February, March and April 2011-2012. These students were selected by Judge Marable’s Citizens Advisory Committee on the basis of their applications and essays.

Harkless attends Flint Northwestern High School; Clymer, Brown, and Wheeler attend Mott Middle College; and Robinson attends Genesee Early College.

Harkless is looking forward to a career as a lawyer or judge and she has a strong interest in reading and writing. At school, she plays basketball, softball, participates in track and field, cross country, Wildcats in Motion, and is the drum major in the band.

Clymer aspires to have a career in early childhood education working with special needs kids. Her extra-curricular activities include choir and community service both at school and her church. She enjoys babysitting, and making crafts.

Brown wants to obtain his bachelor’s degree, and is undecided on his career. He is on the Northern High School basketball team,  is a part of student government, Teenquest, and he assists with the Mott Middle College lunch program. He likes to exercise.

Wheeler would like to pursue a career as an accountant or computer technician. She is is on the praise dance team at her church.

Robinson is looking forward to graduating from college and pursuing his career. He enjoys playing basketball and video games.

As Students of the Month, each honoree will receive a $75.00 U.S. Savings Bond, a trophy, a certificate, and will be invited to shadow Judge Marable for a day at the Court while he performs his official duties. The honorees names have been engraved on a plaque on permanent display at the 68th District Courthouse.

The Judge Marable Student of the Month/Year program was established in 2004 by Judge Marable and his Citizens Advisory Committee to encourage Flint area high school students to focus on academic achievement and career goals.

Each month during the school year a 10th grade student is recognized and awarded a $75.00 savings bond, trophy, and certificate based on the completion of an application and essay about their career goals. This summer one of the monthly awardees from the 2011-2012 school year will be selected as Judge Marable’s Student of the Year and will receive a $500.00 savings bond.

Tenth grade students who are Flint or Genesee County residents are eligible to apply for the Judge Marable Student of the Month/Year Award. Further information on the Judge Marable Student of the Month/Year Award and applications are available from high school guidance counselors, principals, or from the www.judgemarable.net  website or by calling (810) 597-7795.
