Itzuri Ramirez Ayala
“Itzuri, like many others here at Notre Dame Academy, is hardworking, friendly and a positive resource for other students to emulate, especially her approach to school. Itzuri is not shy about asking for help when she needs it and to provide help whenever she needs it. Even though she is only a freshman, she has adapted well to the rigors of high school. From meeting her family, I can tell that she is honored to have a big sister to be and that they are takes responsibility seriously. Our school here at Notre Dame Academy is vastly better with Itzuri’s presence and even though she is only a freshman, she has already made a lasting impression on others, like myself.”
