**Senior Spotlight – Madysen Lindgren 🎓**
We are shining the spotlight on our graduating **Class of 2026**!
🎓 **Plans after graduation:**
Attend UW–Eau Claire
🌟 **Favorite Subject:**
Spanish — it allowed me to learn about different cultures and even use the language while traveling to the Dominican Republic to communicate with locals.
🌟 **Favorite Teacher:**
Mrs. Lane — she helped take away a lot of stress and supported me in earning strong grades.
🌟 **Best Memory:**
The Dominican Republic trip with Mrs. Velasquez and my peers.
🌟 **Activities:**
Dance, FBLA, Above & Beyond, and Student Council
🌟 **What I’ll Miss Most:**
Being on the varsity dance team.
🌟 **Advice for Younger Classmen:**
Be curious, build good habits (studying and self-care), choose friends wisely, get involved, and enjoy the journey. Balance hard work with fun, avoid unnecessary drama, don’t be afraid to be yourself, explore your interests, and remember that failure is part of learning.
We’re so proud of you, Madysen! Best of luck on your next chapter! 🧡🖤
