- Congratulations to this week’s Badger of the Week, Austyn Kieborz. Mrs. Kilmer says Austyn Kieborz certainly deserves to be Badger of the Week. He is a member of our crew and helps primarily with building set pieces for us. However, his true dedication shines through during our competitions. He takes care of the jobs that I would normally worry about: attaching the cross, the clamps, and helping with our largest and heaviest items. What I most admire about Austyn though is his kind heart. He sees something that needs done, and we never have to ask him to do it. He just does. During State One-Act, he made numerous trips back and forth between buses when our bus broke down. It was snowing and blowing terribly, and he stayed with Mrs. P and I helping to carry props, makeup, other students' luggage, our items, and food. He is sweet, positive, and always cheery. When we finally made it back to Valentine, he again helped us with luggage and scraping our windows. The world needs more Austyns, and I am so proud to know and nominate this one! Austyn, you are awesome!
- Congratulations to this week’s Badger Scholar of the Week, Tatiana Williams. Mrs. Hand says I have Tatiana in both English and Journalism. She works hard and has a positive attitude. I look forward to her asking, “So what are we doing in English today?” with a smile just about every day between her Journalism and English classes, which are back to back. Whenever she has been absent, she communicates to make sure she has her work made up or she gets caught up immediately after returning. Tatiana’s positivity is contagious, and her radiant personality makes her an enjoyable young lady to have in class.
