Monday morning the Bowie administration named its October student of the month. The winner was Erica Jones and she was chosen because of her high GPA and outstanding efforts outside of the classroom, according to the committee that picked her.
"I was so excited to win student of the month," Jones said. "It really meant a lot to me to be singled out for this award, I worked very hard last month in my classes and I volunteered 25 hours for NHS."
Jones maintains a 4.60 GPA and is a member of a number of extra curricular clubs at the school.
"We named Erica the student of the month because not only is she a great student, she gives so much to the community," principal Mark Robinson said.
At the end of last year Jones was nominated and won a leadership role in the National Honors Society.
"Erica was heads and shoulders above the rest of the people who were nominated," NHS sponsor and English teacher Samantha Smith said. "Her position this year is president of the club."
In addition to NHS, Jones is also involved in the Art Club, the Magic the Gathering Club and plays ping pong during lunch with the Ping Pong Club.
"I love to play Magic. I think the logic and deck building is so much fun," Jones said. "Plus when I need a good work out, I go smash around a ping pong ball."
In addition to her high grades and club involvement, Jones volunteers at her church.
"I am a pre-school teacher in bible class," Jones said. "I love to work with the little kids. I want to be a teacher in the future."
Jones has three younger siblings, including her step-brother Ethan King, who is a freshman at Bowie.
"I was so proud of her," King said. "She is an inspiration."
