On April 4th each year, National School Librarian Day recognizes the professionals who keep the school library in working order 📚 School librarians spend long hours keeping the library organized.
Thank you Elissa Suechting & Robin Rinehart for all you do for Nicolet ❗
Nicolet senior Nathanael Meinhardt has been named a Congress-Bundestag Scholar for the 2025-26 school year. CBYX scholars serve as youth ambassadors for the United States, sharing our culture with Germans and bringing the German culture back to their home communities. He joins a team of Americans who believe that citizen diplomacy can make a difference, and can be a step towards achieving peace through understanding. During his CBYX year, Natek will live with a German host family and attend a German school. Other highlights are the midyear seminar in Hamburg and the culminating Berlin seminar, where students meet with members of the German parliament.
In addition to an interest in German, CBYX winners need to be well-rounded individuals with strong communication skills and intercultural awareness. At Nicolet, Natek has been active in German Club and the German Honor Society, medaled at the State German pronunciation contest and UW-Madison German Day competitions and took part in the 2023 and 2024 GAPP Exchanges. Natek was also a member of the NHS Cross Country team, played trumpet in our band and was named an Eagle Scout in 2024.
Nathanael is the 20th Nicolet German student to be selected for this program in the last twenty two years. Alonah Hunter Owens is currently on CBYX and Tyler Friedel spent 2023-24 studying in Lüneburg in Lower Saxony. Other recent winners include Jack Drouhin (2022) and Soph Franecki (2021).
Congrats Nathanael ❗
