BADGER SCHOLAR OF THE WEEK
Ashley Mora Lira, Junior
I would like to nominate Ashley Mora Lira for her outstanding work in American History. Ashley comes to class prepared, stays engaged, and is willing to ask questions to better understand content. She's also very kind and genuinely cares about those around her. She recently completed an impressive project where she hand drew the Korean War on a poster and captioned it with key ideas and battles of the war. She is an exemplary student and a delight to have in class this year.
