Mott-Regent Student Named May Kid of the Month<\/h1><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

Athlete, mathlete and volunteer, Caleb shows his intelligence and kindness in everything he does<\/h3><\/div>

As the Larks bring the 2026 Kid of the Month program to a close, we are proud to recognize Mott-Regent fourth grader Caleb Meckle as the May Kid of the Month.<\/span><\/p>\n

His teacher at <\/span>Mott-Regent Elementary School, <\/span>Tracey Johnson, says he is a great student who is always looking to help others and encourages his classmates to do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s the kind of kid that makes a teacher happy to be a teacher,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cHe\u2019s very honest and mature. He always listens and seemed interested in everything I had to say. He\u2019s really bright and a great worker.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Caleb adds his own words of wisdom in class and never complains about already knowing the topic. Academically, he excels, as well. He finished in second place in the math meet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a great mathlete and easy to coach,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI could tell him one time and he caught on. We had early morning practices and he didn\u2019t miss one. He was always there ready to go with a good spirit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Johnson said he always lights up when he talks about his younger sister. Caleb watches her at the movie theater and spends a lot of time with her. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe volunteers to work concessions at sporting events,\u201d his mom said. Caleb volunteers several times a month at the local movie theatre, as well, where he helps with concessions and ticket sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caleb is also heavily involved in extracurricular activities. Playing basketball for the Mott-Regent Wildfire, he does static exhibits for 4-H and he used to play baseball. He said he played all over the diamond but his favorite position was catcher.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe can be anything he wants to be when he grows up,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cHe has a lot of potential. [His classmates] voted him to be the most likely to work for NASA.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Caleb will receive four free tickets to the Larks\u2019 Kid of the Year game on Monday, June 1st, along with a customized jersey, on-field recognition, and a chance to win a $1,000 College SAVE account scholarship from MDU Resources Group. <\/span><\/p>\n
