When asked to name a school staff person who has served as an inspiration, Natalie named Spanish teacher Profe Janelle Varveris.
“Profe Varveris is my inspiration because she goes for what she wants and always has a smile on her face,” she said.
About Natalie, Varveris said, “Natalie Zabloudil is an exemplary student, and I am so proud to hear of this accomplishment. I have known Natalie since her freshman year when I taught her Spanish 1, and I currently have the pleasure of teaching her Spanish 4.
“In addition to her success in Spanish, she also has shown to be an outstanding athlete and was even voted to run the L at the homecoming game. I know Natalie will excel in all of her future endeavors because she is a driven and determined person.”
Natalie plans to attend William Paterson University of New Jersey to study criminology and play volleyball. She is the daughter of Bob and Renae Zabloudil of London.
