Congratulations the HS Student of the Month for September:
Ellie Wittenberg, the daughter of Barry and Courtney Wittenberg, was named the September High School Student of the Month. She is a senior. Her teachers nominated her because she is a strong leader, has great time management skills, is helpful to others and always has a smile on her face. She is always ready to do her best. She has been involved in Business Club, LYF, WYSE Club, Language Club, Pep Club, Drama Club, National Honor Society President, Leo Club Vice President, Student Council Vice President, FCA Leader, Yearbook Editor and Class President. She also participates in volleyball, basketball, softball and dance. Whether she is on or off the court her leadership skills are noticed and appreciated. This year her favorite class is Yearbook. She feels that Yearbook is more like running a business than a class. It allows the class to work together, be organized and be creative. In her free time she enjoys playing sports, especially pickleball. She also enjoys tanning on the boat, shopping, hanging out with friends, making various dances and spending time with family. In the future, she plans to attend the University of Mississippi and major in Integrated Marketing Communications or Elementary Education. Then she plans to come back home and start a family. Her favorite experience in school has been Homecoming week, and all of the fun activities. She has enjoyed creating posters, floats, participating in the Stewardson parade, the Friday pep rally, and of course the game followed by court and the dance.
Now to share some fun facts.
If you ever won the lottery how would you spend it?
“If I ever won the lottery I would save a good amount for the future, donate some to a scholarship to keep Edie, Karly and Sienna’s legacy alive, and probably go on a little shopping spree with the rest.”
If a genie was able to grant you one wish, what would it be?
“If I was granted one wish from a Genie, I would wish to make Edie, Karly and Sienna proud in whatever I do.”
If you had one super power, which one would it be and why?
I would have super speed so that I could spend less time getting ready and travel anywhere, whenever I wanted.
Congratulations to the JH Student of the Month for September:
Olivia Vonderheide, the daughter of Jason and Angie Vonderheide, was named the September Junior High Student of the Month. She is in the eighth grade. Her teachers nominated her because she works hard, is always willing to participate in class, works well with her classmates, and always has a smile on her face. She has the sweetest soul, is always thinking of others, and brings joy to whatever she is involved in. She participates in golf, volleyball, Rapid Fire Volleyball Club, cheerleading, Stew-Stras Loyalty Club and St. Mary’s youth group. Her favorite class is reading. Reading class is her favorite because she enjoys reading and her favorite teacher teaches it. In her free time she likes to read, paint, draw, play sports, play with her cat, hang out with friends and family, play Dress to Impress on Roblox with her BFF, travel, and most of all eat! In the future she wants to go to college and possibly get a sports scholarship. Her favorite school experience has been getting to play volleyball. Volleyball has brought her hours of fun with her friends. It also gave her the chance to get to know Karly, Edie and Sienna. Volleyball practice was so fun. Karly and Edie would frequently be doing Tik Tok dances before practice. At Rapid Fire Volleyball she got to spend time with Sienna. Thanks to volleyball she got to make wonderful memories with the girls on and off the court and they had an amazing coach.
Now to share some fun facts.
If you ever won the lottery how would you spend it?
“I would save it for my future, and buy my best friend and I expensive cats.”
If a genie was able to grant you one wish, what would it be?
“I already have everything I need so it would be to give peace and hope to the families that lost their daughters last summer.”
If you had one super power, which one would it be and why?
“Teleportation, so I could go anywhere I wanted at any time.”
