SCHOLAR BADGER OF THE WEEK
Burke Rhodes, Sophomore
I would like to acknowledged Burke Rhodes for his efforts in English 2. Burke works hard, receives feedback well, and puts his best effort into things. His written responses are thoughtful and show reflection. We are currently reading Night by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, and Burke has visited Auschwitz. He has shared some of his experience in class, and I appreciate his perspective. Burke has grown a lot as a student this school year.
-Lindsay Wonnenberg, English

A little too hot for a jacket a nice comfy sweater will work just right for the temperatures we're having. Would be good to have for the changing weather this year. Contact Cardinal 4023229064.
