Seven JCSD Middle School Students to Experience College Life This Summer

As a testament to their hard work and dedication, several JCSD students have been accepted to the Blank Summer Institute at the University of Iowa, where they will spend a week in June experiencing college life while taking coursework in their chosen areas of interest, essentially their college “major” for their time there.  

Congratulations to the following students:

  • Nicolas deHart – Lab Science

  • Courtney Henry – Creative Writing

  • Sawyer Smith & Zane VanSlyke – Graphic Arts & Design

  • Finley Deike, Addison Krogmeier & Kensi Limyao – Visual Arts

Additionally, we recognize the outstanding students who were named as alternates for the program:

  • Mirissa Homewood, Kendall Kerker & Alice Timion – Creative Writing

  • Jacob Foelske – Visual Arts

All the students above worked hard on their applications, which included writing a short essay, getting a teacher recommendation, and submitting grade reports -- much like applying to college.  JCSD is very proud of these students who will represent Janesville well during this life-changing experience!
