CRUSADER OF THE WEEK
Week of January 8th
Ms. Finke nominates Freshman Alexis Fassbender for Crusader of the Week for Algebra I
"Alexis is an extremely responsible and well-organized student. I am inspired by your love of learning, and it's evident when you ask me for practice problems daily, even though you already understand. Your commitment to your academics is commendable. I am excited to see you grow in your confidence and understanding of Algebra."
Mr. VonBokern nominates Junior John Lehmkuhl for Crusader of the Week for Chemistry.
"John is a model of attentiveness and engagement in the classroom. He is always on task, ready to participate, and follows all the classroom rules. He almost always has a smile and his hand in the air - ready to answer questions. Congratulations, John!"
Week of January 15th
Ms. Brady nominates Junior Stefany Nix for Crusader of the Week for AP United States History (more affectionately known as APUSH)
"Stef has been an absolute rockstar in our course. If I could give this award out every week, it is safe to say that Stef would challenge to take the prize. She is consistently engaged, diligent in her work, and intentional when taking notes and completing Main Idea Logs. As a result of her dedication, she has scored exceptionally well on our various assessments. Her written responses have also demonstrated a mastery of the content and a depth of understanding, which illustrates that she is connecting the content to broader concepts across history and other subjects; this is not an easy skill to acquire. Well done, Stef. Keep up the good work!"
Mrs. Hartwig nominates Freshman Brynlee Rice for Crusader of the Week for English I
"Brynlee has an incredible work ethic both inside and outside of the classroom. She thinks critically and analytically and comes to class every day prepared and willing to put forth 100% effort. She has a vast understanding of the material and content and her friendly smile every day in first period sets the tone for a positive day! She is a pleasure to have in class. Congratulations, Brynlee, and keep up the great work!"
