“With its purpose of highlighting the achievements of our top students, the selection of Jorgensen for this award is “well deserved,” wrote Kiwanian Brent Shoup in a Dec. 22 press release.

Jorgensen is a member of the National Honor Society, has served as class treasurer for the past two years and has been a member of Being a Leader and Standing Tall, also known as BLAST, all four years of high school. She has also been honored twice with all-conference recognition in band.

She has had four years of participation in hockey, softball and cross country. She has also volunteered with youth hockey, softball and swimming. Jorgensen has served as a rabbit youth leader in 4-H.

Additionally, Jorgensen volunteers at the local food pantry, has assisted in many community service projects, and is a member of the Calvary Lutheran youth group.

“The Neillsville Kiwanis Club is pleased to have talented and ambitious individuals like Elizabeth Jorgensen as Junior Kiwanians and wish her success as she pursues her further education,” Shoup wrote.

Following graduation, she intends to pursue studies in environmental science. A choice of school is not yet determined.
