Falteisek is named Abbotsford Lions Club Student of the Quarter
Abbotsford High senior Ty Falteisek has been named the Abbotsford Lions Club Student of the Quarter for the third quarter of the 2021-22 school year.
Falteisek carries a rigorous class schedule that includes Written Communications (NTC), Trigonometry (NTC), Body Structure and Functions, Food and Fitness, Fab Lab Intro, Employability Skills, and Student Teacher Aide.
His co-curricular activities include National Honor Society, Safe Schools Ambassadors, and Leadership Book Club. He has also been a member of football, wrestling and track teams.
Math/science teacher and football/track coach, Andrew Brehm, highly recommended him for the Student-of-the-Quarter award.
“I can fully attest to Ty’s work ethic, character and accomplishments,” Brehm stated. “He is not only a top student in my science and math classes; he is one of my most focused, intense students who uses his time wisely and freely gives his time to others to help them learn as well,” Brehm said. “When he broke his leg in a football game last year, Ty worked extremely hard on recuperation in order to participate in spring track, ending up at the state meet.
“He has shown great resolve in times of adversity, developed his leadership skills, and built many peer and teacher relationships with his friendly voice and easy-going manner. I highly endorse this young man the Student-of-the-Quarter award.”
Falteisek’s volunteerism attests to his belief in community service. He has been actively involved by bell ringing for the Salvation Army and volunteering for community clean-up days, the Christmas Parade, Feed My Starving Children program, Special Olympics Winter Games, and the middle school wrestling program and football camp.
When asked to identify an outstanding feature of the community, Ty applauds the amount of diversity in Abbotsford. “While attending school in Abbotsford, I have learned so much more about the Hispanic culture. I enjoy listening to new music, tasting foods I have never tried before, and learning traditions that are very different from ours. I feel this will help me in the future.”
When asked to define a major world problem, Falteisek responded that he would, “confront the amount of fighting amongst ourselves, rather than working together for compromise. There are two sides to everything; seeking power is not the answer. Instead of worrying about what political party, race or religion is better, allow people to choose what they feel is best for them, accept other people’s differences, and allow people to worship the way they want!”
Tycurrentlyworksparttime for Darel’s Installation. After graduation, he plans to attend River Falls, play football, and possibly major in business. He is the son of Darel Falteisek and Krista Keech.
