This week's Idaho Distinguished Student
Award Winners include student from
Bonners Ferry High School |

May 28, 2014 |
Every week the Idaho Dairy Council selects four
students from around the state of Idaho to honor
for their exceptional academic, athletic, and
civic contributions and achievements.
This week's group of four Distinguished Student
Award winners includes a senior from Bonners
Ferry High School, Gabrielle Munson.
As a weekly winner of this award from the Idaho
Dairy Council, Ms. Munson earned for her school
$100 in scholarship funds, to be used at the
discretion of the high school principal. For
herself, she receives a recognition plaque and a
Distinguished Student Award T-shirt.
But here is the big deal: Each school year, four
winners are selected from all of the year's
weekly winners, and those four winners each earn
$5,000 in scholarships for their school. In
addition, those four winning students will be
featured on outdoor billboards throughout the
state.
In selecting the award recipients, the Idaho
Dairy Council looks for students, nominated by
school staff, who are well-rounded seniors who
excel as leaders in academics, athletics,
volunteerism and extracurricular activities.
Ms. Munson certainly seems to fit those
requirements. She has been active at school with
cheerleading, and in the Future Farmers of
America organization, where she has been
president of the local Bonners Ferry chapter for
the past two years. She has also served as a
District FFA officer for the past two years.
She has participated on the BFHS track team in
relays and pole vault.
She has been involved with 4-H through most of
her life, and served as Boundary County Fair
Queen in 2012. She is known to have staged with
her sisters many family car washes, bake sales,
and other activities to help fund her 4-H
projects and related activities.
Gabrielle is the daughter of Tammie and Ken
Goggia.
In addition to Gabrielle, other winners from
around the state this week include Jenna
Jarolimek of Filer, Josh Needles of Rocky
Mountain High School in Meridian, and Mersadies
Fisher of Ririe.
Earlier this year, McKenzie MacDonald, another
student at Bonners Ferry High School, also won a
weekly Distinguished Student Award from the
Idaho Dairy Council. |
