Madelynn is a very hard-working Student and a great team player. Madelynn is also committed to the University of Connecticut to continue academics and play Division 1 soccer. Go, Maddy! Congratulations, Madelynn Anderson, our Student of the Week for January 27th!
“I have taught Maddy for two years now and I can honestly say she is one of the most hardworking people I have ever had the sheer pleasure of teaching. Maddy wants to learn, wants to do well and has one of the kindest hearts I’ve experienced. Maddy is an amazing friend, athlete and scholar. She is also an exemplary member of the National Honor Society who upholds the 4 pillars (scholarship, service, leadership and character) perfectly.”- Spanish teacher, Mrs. Lisa
“When I think of Madelynn, the word “exemplar” comes to mind! Madelynn is incredibly hard-working, and her work is nothing short of exemplary! I have actually asked Madelynn to share samples of her work to better guide future AP Literature students. Madelynn also has excellent time management skills as she effortlessly balances a demanding sports schedule with some of the highest-level courses our school offers.”- English teacher, Mrs. Schmidt
Congratulations to Madelynn Anderson, our 1/27 Student of the Week!
