Itzuri Ramirez Ayala, Grade 9, Notre Dame Academy
Ezuri Ramirez Ayala
“Ezuri, like many others at Notre Dame Academy, is hard-working, kind and a positive role model for other students to follow, especially the way she goes to school. Izuri is not shy about asking for help when she needs it and offering it when she needs it. Although only a freshman, she has adjusted well to the rigors of high school and I can tell that she is honored to be a big sister and that she takes that responsibility very seriously, even though she is only one. Freshman, but she has already left a lasting impression on others, such as myself.
–Kassidy McGowan, Learning Resources Advisor, Marist College
Nathaniel Green-Weatherall, Grade 12, Messmer High School
Nathaniel Green-Witherall
“Nathaniel (Nate) is one of Mesmer’s most prized possessions. He is the epitome of a well-rounded student. Nate is one of the most positive and respectful students you will ever meet. He makes a lasting impression that can make anyone’s eyes shine. Go to college and major in sports management, we’re rooting for you Nate and know it.
–Melissa Hoeppner, counselor, Mesmer High School
