Morgan Hill Times Student Spotlight: Martin Wenzel

Morgan Hill Times, 2/20/2014, “Student of the Week: Martin Wenzel.” 

What inspires you?

I am inspired by my teachers on a day-to-day basis. Teachers at Mount Madonna School are creative, unique and often extraordinary in their accomplishments. They show me all the ways one can make a difference in the world and each one of them has had a significant impact on the lives of those around them.

Favorite subject in school:

New Family Referral and Sibling Incentive Program

Mount Madonna School’s New Family and Sibling Incentive Program provides a tuition discount to current Mount Madonna School (MMS) families who refer new families to MMS. The program includes referrals that result in newly enrolled students who join the school at any point during the school year, and it is intended to offer our current families a way to help grow the School community while also making it financially easier to send their children to MMS.
 

Self-Discovery and Empowerment: “Legally Blonde” at Mount Madonna School

Edgy, ironic and bitingly funny, Legally Blonde also contains a message of empowerment and self-discovery, and believing in one’s own capabilities whether you’re woman or man, blonde or some other hair color. This upbeat musical is infused with contemporary music in various styles, including ballad, reggae, snappy funk and big Broadway-like ‘show-stoppers.’

Tickets for Legally Blonde are on sale now and can be purchased through Thursday, January 23, in the school office or by calling 408-847-2717. After that, tickets will be available at the door.

Tickets are $10 for students 18 years and under, and $15 for adults. MMS alumni are $10 on Friday and Saturday.

Tickets may be purchased by check or cash; or with a credit card for orders of $25 or more.

Memorable Haircut: Student Donates Hair to Locks of Love

On Christmas Eve, high school student Amelia Busenhart had a very special haircut – one she will remember for a long time. This time, rather than snipped hair landing on a salon floor, Amelia’s lengthy pony tail was donated to the nonprofit organization Locks of Love, which uses human hair to craft wigs and hairpieces for children afflicted with long-term or permanent medical hair loss. 
 
Way to go, Amelia!
