Recap of the 2016 Valkyries of the Month

The Valkyrie of the Month is an award given to a student who is an excellent role model and shows true Valkyrie passion in school and in extracurriculars. The students are nominated by teachers who believe they exemplify these characteristics. The Valkyrie is nominated in the preceding month so the following month is dedicated to the student and her hard work.

For the first semester of the 2016-2017 school year, three girls were awarded Valkyrie of the Month for the months of October, November, and December.

Ryan is am Ambassador, lacrosse team member, NHS member, and participates in many other clubs and extracurriculars.

The December Valkyrie of the month was senior Claire Hilbrecht. She is an intelligent and dedicated student who is always ready and willing to help her classmates.
