Senior, Mya Stewart was granted this week's High School Student of the Week title. She is the daughter of Rob and Heidi and sister of Madox and Macy. Mya is almost always busy; she participates in numerous extracurricular activities including volleyball, track, basketball, BCPC, Teen Court, NHS, etc. Outside of these activities, Mya spends her time hunting and shopping. Although she takes many college courses, her favorite class is Multi-Media with Mrs. Krozska who just so happens to be her favorite teacher too. Mya loves how much work Mrs. Krozska does to make our school a better environment. Alma School District has been good to Mya. She loves how much the school allows independence in the students by allowing them to take college courses. As of right now, Mya plans on attending Eau Claire to become a Nurse Practitioner. To help her in her plans, the school has paid for Mya to get her CNA and EMT 1 through CVTC. Congratulations Mya on being this week's Student of the Week.
This week’s student of the week is Niklaus Ebersold. Niklaus is in fifth grade, and his favorite thing Ms. Crothers teaches him is reading because he thinks it’s fun and easy. His favorite school lunch is pizza, but that does not beat his love for any type of Skittles. Niklaus has three siblings, and he loves to hang out with all of his family in his free time. When Niklaus grows up, he says that he wants to be a scientist or perhaps a cop. His favorite animal is a cheetah or a caracole which he reports that you can have as a pet but they are very expensive. Lastly, the only thing that Niklaus would change about Alma is adding some more fun to the art room. Niklaus even offered to paint the walls in the art room, since his favorite activity is to draw. Congratulations Niklaus on being student of the week!
