The Wisconsin Heights Optimists Quality Students of the Third Quarter are 8th grader Griffin Crowe, son of Megan and Isaiah Crowe and 10th grader Macy Stampfli, daughter of Shawn and Brett Stampfli. Chosen by their teachers, the students were accompanied to the Optimist Club meeting at The Old Feed Mill, Mazomanie, Friday, March 14 by their moms; MacKenzie Deese, their math teacher; and elementary school principal, Sarah Kman. Griffin is the epitome of optimism. He has a positive impact on everyone around him. He is kind, helpful, and inclusive, a natural leader. A good student, he takes on challenges, digging deep into material and engaging others around him. Macy also has a positive, optimistic impact throughout the school and in the classroom. She is helpful to her classmates and teachers, always willing to lend a helping hand. A diligent student, Macy sets high standards for herself. And she meets these standards. The Wisconsin Heights Optimists are proud to honor these enthusiastic and inspiring young people.
