Rotary Students of the Month
Susan Roberts and Luke Trittelwitz have been named the Grantsburg Rotary Club's Students of the Month. Shown above are Jennie Twohy, GHS Science Teacher, Susan Roberts, Luke Trittelwitz, GHS Biology Teacher Matt Berg, and Rotary SOM Chair Gordy Lewis. Susan is the daughter of David and Colleen Roberts. She chose Jennie Towhy as her most influential teacher because "her classes have been the best classes I have ever had." She also noted that she enjoys visiting with Ms. Towhy and that she teaches in an area that Susan would like to pursue. Susan is a member of the National Honor Society, is Senior Class Vice President, and a captain of the softball team. She enjoys playing sports, runs cross country, bakes desserts, and likes camping. Her future plans include a major in Chemistry at a four-year school but has not chosen that school as of this point. Luke is the son of Clay and Rachel Trittelwitz. He chose Matt Berg as his most influential teacher "because of the passion, care, and dedication he shows his students every day." He said it is because of Mr. Berg that he has chosen to pursue a degree in Biology and Secondary Education. Luke is a member of the Student Council, Academic Decathalon, show choirs, jazz band, scuba club, theater, and he sits on the Burnett County Board as one of two students representatives from Grantsburg. His interests include sports, outdoor recreation, spending time with people, church, music, and Boy Scouts where he has just received the Eagle Scout rank. He has not chosen a college but is leaning towards UW-Stevens Point. Past Students of the Month
