As student of the week, 8th grader, Payton Pederson has shown her drive to excel both inside and outside of the classroom. The daughter of Bob and Heather Pederson, Payton’s work ethic shows through any task she chooses to take on. Aside from her exemplary academics she pushes herself physically to be the best she can in Basketball, Volleyball and Soccer. 

When not working on her academics and sports she enjoys spending time outside riding her dirt bike and jet ski throughout the summer. She also strengthens her work ethic as an employee of Pederson Lawn Care. Payton has mastered the technique of balancing successful hard-work and relaxation and fun with great ability.  She hopes her hard work will pay off as she plans to continue her schooling to become an orthodontist.
