Shining the spotlight on Student of the Week freshman Maxin A! Maxin was nominated by Mrs. Blank because ‘Maxin always tries to do his best in English. He is attentive and asks questions. He gets his work done on time. He asks questions pertinent to the discussion we're having in class. Additionally, Maxin spent time after school working on the 9th-grade float. He shows an interest in being a team player.’ In his free time, Maxin enjoys playing video games and hanging out with friends. He’s looking forward to going out for football next fall. After high school, he plans to attend college to study to become an electrician and would like to own his own business. Great job Maxin in being a Marauder, demonstrating what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and always striving to be your best.

They made gameday predictions and learned about the history of the big game.
