JERSEYVILLE - Sixth grader Douglas Ford has been selected as Jersey Community Middle School’s Student of the Month for October. From eSports to livestock shows, volunteering, and more, Ford is involved in several groups and activities both in and out of school.

Ford has been involved in several clubs and groups around the school over the years, including the JCMS eSports team for two years, Blue Crew for two years, Student Council for two years, and Student Advisory for one year. He also competed in the school’s Olympiad series of academic contests.

He also keeps himself plenty busy outside of school with everything from sports to livestock to volunteering and more. Ford has played Rec League Basketball for six years, guitar for three years, and has been involved in 4H livestock shows for five years.
