William (Will) Judge, son of Richard and Stephanie Judge and an eighth grader at Sauk Prairie Middle School, was selected as the SPMS Optimist December Middle Level Leader and was honored at the Sauk Prairie Optimists’ December 18 meeting. Will was nominated by his Art teacher, Therese Miskulin.
In Ms. Miskulin’s words, she nominated Will “because he is one of the most pleasant students I have had in my art career. He comes to class with a great attitude and smile on his face. When a new student with disabilities was placed next to him in art class, he welcomed the student and made the new student feel part of the program. He is quiet and dedicated to his art, taking on the project with enthusiasm and showing his own visions of color and substance. He is truly a silent leader and I am so happy to have him in my class.”
In school, Will is involved in basketball, track and is a sixth grade mentor. Outside of school, he enjoys soccer and spending time with family and friends. He dreams of one day attending the University of West Virginia or UW Madison to study medicine.
