His answers to questions from assignments on the Screwtape letters are always well thought out and show a level of maturity and understanding. He is a good student who pays attention and articulates well when called on. He has a good sense of humor and is very respectful in class. Excellent student."

Mrs. Thelen, Mrs. Shea, and Mrs. Ryan nominate Freshman Kate Dusing for Crusader of the Week for AAIMS 1.

"There is a special place for quiet and kind leaders, and Kate excels at this role.  Behind her quiet demeanor is an exemplary student, a hard worker, and a curious thinker.  Kate has the ability to stay focused, yet is always willing to go with the flow in class and offer a thoughtful response.  Thank you, Kate, for your smile, determination, and leadership.  We are so happy you are a Crusader!"
