Character Counts in Pella recognized students for their efforts in the community.

One 2017 graduate each from Pella and Pella Christian and a boy and girl in eighth grade from both districts were honored on the Tulip Toren at Thursdays in Pella.

Emma Huerter of Pella and Ryan Howey of Pella Christian, and eighth graders Kate Muller and Grant Nelson of Pella and Tessa Brouwer and Ian Stravers of Pella Christian were this year’s Character Counts winners.
