   Once again the young men and women of Messmer have made me very proud. You speak and act at a level of maturity which is much beyond your years and as the previous commenter has said; “you are the change we seek!” Keep up the great work and know that you are all in my prayers daily as I thank God for bringing me to Messmer Catholic Schools.

   Facing such sadness and often daunting circumstances it is inspiring to see such hope and desire to give from these youth. You are the change you seek! God bless you and your efforts to be goodness, and may goodness reign!
