Elementary student, Polly Schamaun, is this week’s Student of the Week. Her parents are Jarrod and Sam. Polly is a preschool student who loves the color pink, specifically a darker “Rumi pink” from her favorite movie, K-Pop Demon Hunters. She enjoys learning about the letter Z, mainly lowercase, because she thinks it’s round and easier. Her favorite school food is cheese pizza, and at recess she loves playing games like unicorns, dragons, and dinosaurs. Outside of school, Polly enjoys going to the pool and the beach in the summer, and she especially loves opening presents at Christmas. She has a one-year-old sibling named Max and a yellow dog named Shelby. Polly isn’t sure what she wants to be when she grows up yet, but she thinks she’ll figure out to what to do when she’s six or eight years old. If she could have any superpower, she’d want to freeze bad guys. Her favorite Disney princess is Rumi, and she loves dressing up as a mermaid. Keep up the good work and congratulations!

A Wisconsin state athletics logo appears in the top corner of the slide. The presentation takes place in a room with large windows visible to the side.

This week’s Student of the Week is sixth grader, Tyson Barton. Tyson is the son of Stacy and Travis along with his step dad, Tony. He enjoys spending time with his brother Gavin and his two pets, Tito and Jager. Florida is Tyson's dream vacation, and while he enjoys the sun, he would like to see a whale show. The best part of sixth grade so far, in his opinion, is the free time he gets in open study. Tyson enjoys Phy. Ed. so he can participate in games and have fun. Because she is a nice and helpful, Mrs. Goeldner is his favorite teacher. Congratulations Tyson on being this week’s Student of the Week! Keep up the great work!
