Mara Kuzmanovic

You would think that after mistakenly grabbing her team’s final offensive snap, knifing her way through the driving rain and scoring the winning touchdown in the final minute of this year’s Powder Puff, Mara Kuzmanovic would have reached the apex of her life. What more could she possibly accomplish? But wait, there is more - much more - to Mara than just winning football games, and for that, Mara has been awarded the Senior of the Week honor. In school, she challenges herself with a full course load; the two most common letters at the start of her classes are A and P. Outside of school, Mara balances her academic undertakings with a number of activities, including Poms and the Spring Musicals. From her teachers’ comments about her, it is obvious that Mara is a driven, engaging and talented individual who will continue to accomplish great things in her life. Thank you for all you’ve done for our Greendale High School community, Mara, and all the best in your future endeavors!
