The Signal is pleased to honor Marissa Weidenfeller as a 2010 Student of the Year Runner-Up. In order for Weidenfeller to achieve this award, she has stood out to The Signal by being an overall good student and person. Over the past four years she has shown leadership, compassion, loyalty, commitment, effort and as a result, has been recognized by the Signal Staff of 2010.
Weidenfeller has been in Poms for all 4 years of high school and has been the captain for the squad the last 2 years. She has been in Girl Scouts since Kindergarten, is in the school play “Don’t Drink The Water” and she has been the senior class Vice President for the past 4 years.
“Marissa is a great girl, with an amazing worth ethic. The past four years we have made up the vice president and president team for the class of 2010 and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. She kept me sane when things got stressful and always brought the nice and sensitive side to the team. She’s always happy and always brightening up my day when I need it. She’s got one of the best work ethics I’ve ever seen: by balancing poms, school, and student senate… and always producing good quality work in all of them,” Senior Tay Brittain said.
She is an excellent student who works hard in school as well as her place of work, The Fort Youth Center. Weidenfeller strives to do the best on anything that comes her way.
“Her positive attitude and optimism are contagious and I can’t help but smile when I’m around her. She cares for those around her, whether a person is her best friend or a stranger, and soon-to-be friend” English Teacher Kate Schultz said.
She manages to juggle Girl Scouts, poms, student senate, the school play, work, family and friends all the while being a dedicated student. Weidenfeller has made an ongoing impact on anyone who surrounds her.
“I’ve known her since second grade. We’ve shared a lot of fun memories from school to Girl Scout events. Marissa is an all-around great friend,” Senior Madelyn Raatz said.
Weidenfeller has always dreamed to be an FBI agent or in the CIA. She will be attending UW-Whitewater in the fall.
“Marissa is and will always be my best friend! She is the happiest, most energetic person you will ever meet in your life. She brightens up my day whenever i see her, and she’s that type of person that will laugh at a stupid joke that’s not funny. She was an awesome poms captain and I’m glad I got to be on it all 4 years with her and became best friends,” Senior Jenna Allard said.
