Itzuri Ramirez Ayala, grade 9, Notre Dame Academy
Itzuri Ramirez Ayala
“Itzuri, like many others here at Notre Dame Academy, is hard working, kind and a positive source for other students to emulate, especially her approach to school. Itzuri is not shy to ask for help when she needs it and to give help when asked. Although only a freshman, she has adjusted well to the rigors of high school. In meeting her family, I can tell she is honored to be a big sister and she takes that responsibility seriously. Our school here at Notre Dame Academy is drastically better with Itzuri’s presence and despite only being a freshman she has already made a lasting impression on others, such as myself.”
–Kassidy McGowan, learning resource consultant, Notre Dame Academy
Nathaniel Green-Weatherall, grade 12, Messmer High School
Nathaniel Green-Weatherall
“Nathaniel (Nate) is one of Messmer’s prize possessions. He is the epitome of a well-rounded student. Nate is one of the most positive and well-mannered students you will ever encounter. He leaves a lasting impression, and can brighten anyones day. Nate works very hard academically, and combats any trials that come his way. Nate is a participant in The Greater Urban League program and is set on attending a university and majoring in sports management. We are rooting for you Nate, and know that you can do anything you put your mind to.”
–Melissa Hoeppner, counselor, Messmer High School
