Vote for IndyStar Student of the Week for April 21-25
Show Caption Each week, readers vote on central Indiana students who were nominated by their schools for their excellence in the classroom and beyond. Readers can vote for their favorite student throughout the week at the bottom of this story on with polling closing at noon on Thursday, April 24. Winners will be announced every Friday. This contest aims to introduce readers not just to the student who winds up winning but to all of the highly accomplished nominees. Here's what nominating school leaders had to say about this week's nominees: Jaysi Klink, a senior at Guerin Catholic High School Jaysi Klink is a bold risk-taker on stage! In the House Band Showcase, she had an electric, entertaining energy that wowed the audience. In Godspell, our spring musical, she took risks vocally and as a performer, as she commits with her whole heart to communicating her love for Christ to the audience. Jaysi has been a leader throughout the process of the musical, and we are so proud of her hard work! Ryan Mueller, a senior at Franklin Central High School Ryan Mueller is an outstanding senior at Franklin Central High School! Not only is he a four-time No. 1 varsity singles tennis champ for our school, he has given countless hours to community service through the National Honor Society. Ryan's academic focus in Dual Credit World Literature, compassion, and ability to support and uplift others make him an outstanding Flash! Morgan Deal, a sophomore at Ben Davis High School Morgan strived to become the best she can in school. She is persistent and takes responsible risks. She has pushed through every hurdle and desires to learn more. Morgan has completely changed since switching back to in-person school. We could not be more proud of her. Malaya Frye, a senior at Indianapolis Metropolitan High School Malaya maintains a 3.5 GPA or higher as a student athlete as well. Cheer is her sport of choice and her bubbly personality meshes with it well. Being aggressive early in her academics has allowed her to earn high school credits ahead of time, leaving room in her schedule to become an office assistant at Indy Met; this position is only reserved for the top students at Indy Met and comes with great responsibility and accountability, which is exactly what Malaya possesses. Malaya's post-secondary plans include studying to become a licensed Psychologist to assist those in her community who struggle with mental health. Currently, Malaya is deciding which college she'll attend as she has received admission to each she's applied. Phelan Sloane, a senior at Roncalli High School Roncalli Communications teacher Julie Albertson states "Phelan has proven to be a critical member of the yearbook staff this year. She has not only created well photographed and designed pages, but she has also asked to help with other pages. I know I can count on her to get her work done in an excellent manner and also to help make the work that others do even better." Leadership activities within the classroom and a willingness to be of service are also cited. Danielle Morrison, a senior at Martinsville High School Danielle is a member of the Cooking Club, Book Club, GSA, and JAG. She is a member of the M.H.S. Unified Flag Football Team, Unified Bowling Team, Unified Track and Field Team, and Sparkle Cheer. Sparkle Cheer was her favorite H.S. activity, and Mrs. Cheatham's Teaching Class is her favorite Class. She enjoys working with Students at a local Elementary School (Smith Fine Arts Elementary) in their classroom, where she works with first-grade teachers and Students. Danielle's plans include wanting to be a book author. She enjoys going to church each week with her family. Preslee Goodwine, a senior at Lawrence North High School Preslee Goodwin excels academically, ranking among the top in her class and on track for an honors diploma. Preslee embraces a challenging course load, showcasing her commitment to education. In addition to her academics, she is a key member of the cheer squad and shines in show choir and drama. Her leadership and dedication in these activities inspire her peers. What truly sets Preslee apart is her positivity and infectious smile, which enriches the environment for everyone. For these reasons, I believe Preslee deserves this recognition as Student of the Week.
