The Prescott Kiwanis Student of the Week for May 17 was Prescott High School junior Ramsey Nicolay, nominated by teacher Dylan Larsen.

“Ramsey has grown academically by leaps and bounds since the beginning of this school year,” Larsen said. “She has transformed from a student of low engagement to a diligent scholar that recognizes the value of hard work. Her positive presence is not limited to academics; she enters the classroom with a smile and story almost every day. Both her classmates and I look forward to seeing her and miss her when she’s gone. Ramsey has established herself as a positive role model in my class, for both her work ethic and her joie de vivre.”

Ramsey is the daughter of Pete Nicolay and Shawna Eichman. She enjoys fishing, watching racing and derby. She plans to pursue a career as a diesel mechanic.
