Elk Mound Class of 2016 valedictorian: Makenna Zurbuchen
By LeAnn R. Ralph
ELK MOUND — The valedictorian of the Elk Mound High
School Class of 2016 is Makenna
Zurbuchen.
Makenna is the daughter of
Tate and Paula Zurbuchen.
The Colfax Messenger sent out
a questionnaire to Makenna for a
profile of the valedictorian.
• Describe the most memorable
event that happened while you
were in high school. I have made
so many great memories during
high school. Sophomore year, our
boys’ basketball team made it to
state. It was such a fun event that
most people don’t get a chance to
experience during their time in
high school. It was awesome to
see how much support there is in
our little community. The summer
before Junior year, the band and
choir took a trip to Disney World
in Florida. Packing so many high
schoolers into a coach bus and
traveling across country was such
an adventure! During Junior year,
I had the opportunity to participate at State Science Olympiad in
Milwaukee. My friends and I made
a weekend out of it and drove there
together. I enjoyed competing as
well as exploring the city.
• What were your favorite high
school classes? My favorite high
school classes were mainly science classes. Anatomy and Physiology was the first class I genuinely enjoyed which reinforced my
choice of becoming a nurse. I love
my teacher Mrs. Simet’s sense of
humor and the way she connects
Makenna K. Zurbuchen
Tate & Paula Zurbuchen
with her students.
• Which activities were you involved in during high school? What
was your favorite? I was involved
in volleyball, softball, student
council, national honors society,
science olympiad, prom committee, and marching band during
high school. Volleyball, especially
my junior year, was my favorite
high school activity. My coach,
Jenny Garnett, made the game a
lot of fun with her caring personality and constant encouragement. I
gained my closest friends through
volleyball as well.
• What are your plans after
graduation? I’m expecting this
summer to be very busy between
spending time with my friends and
family and continuing to work at
Menards. My family takes a two
week vacation every summer and
we’re looking forward to going to
Colorado this year. I’m hoping
to go on many adventures with
friends too. In July I’ll be taking a
three week CNA course to get my
certification.
• Are you planning to attend
college or technical school, and if
so, where? I will be attending UWEau Claire in the fall.
• What will be your major at
college or technical school? I’m
planning to major in nursing. I’ve
always loved being there for others whether it’s helping a friend
through difficult times or assisting
my brother after surgery. Sharing
in a person’s joys and struggles
brings me the most satisfaction.
Ultimately, I was inspired by my
mom, who is a nurse, to pursue a
degree in nursing. She loves what
she does, and I want a job that I
love too.
• What does it mean to you to
be the valedictorian of the Elk
Mound High School Class of 2016?
I’m extremely grateful to be the
Valedictorian of my graduating
class. It’s such an honor, and I
can’t say enough about the support
I have received from my teachers,
family and friends. Without them,
I wouldn’t have such a drive to
succeed in academics as well as in
other aspects of my life. The influence they’ve had on me has made
me who I am today.
