Nominations for ExCEL Award

---

Kimball Area High School has nominated Brett Ostby and Jenna Maus for the ExCEL (Excellence in Community, Education and Lead-ership) Award.

Sponsored by the Minnesota State High School League, ExCEL is a unique recognition program designed exclusively for Minne-sota high school juniors. Students who are active in fine arts and/or athletic activities, who show leadership qualities, and who are model citizens in their commu-nity are eligible for the award.

ExCEL Award recipients are selected through a multi-level pro-cess that involves league-member schools and an independent panel of judges from schools throughout Minnesota. Award recipients will be recognized on KSTC-TV (Chan-nel 45) during the winter tourna-ments.

"The ExCEL Award program is an excellent opportunity for high school juniors who have excelled to receive statewide recognition for their leadership and community service," said Erik Widvey.

For more information about the ExCEL Award program, please contact the league at (763) 560-2262, or <www.mshsl.org> on the Web.

Jenna is the daughter of Ed and Sue Maus. Brett is the son of Todd and Kim Ostby.
