The Strength of a Student Teacher’s Voice

Julia Weigle is a student teacher here at Buffalo High School in the music department and has been working with students for a couple of months. Ms. Weigle hailed from St. Michael and is attending Luther College in Iowa, in the last semester of her senior year. She has worked hard here at Buffalo High School to become a better teacher and connect with students. “I have really loved working with both the students and Mr. Carlson-Giving. I think it is such a wonderful experience, like students are so kind and respectful, but they also like want to learn things and get things done, and they’re always looking to grow, which I so appreciate, and it makes it really fun for me as an educator to be able to help them meet their goals in those ways,” said Ms. Weigle.

Choir and music students appreciate all Ms. Weigle has done in her short time here at Buffalo High School,

Varsity Choir student Madilynn Klingmann ’28, said “What I will miss most about Ms. Weigle is that she’s a really patient teacher. She can sing my voice part, and I like her a lot. Like really a lot.”

Concert Choir Alto Averi Hausladen ’27 says, “She is the sweetest person, and she’s so easy to talk to. She goes to Luther, which is one of the colleges I’m considering, because I also want to go into music education. She’s really good at explaining things and has been a really strong role model for female singers.”

Concert Choir Tenor Johnnie Klatt ’26 says, “I really enjoy Ms. Weigle. She has done so much for our choir, and she is an exceptional teacher! I will miss her amazing capabilities of bringing us as a choir together, and I will especially miss her willingness to help and connect with us.”

Sadly, Ms. Weigle will be leaving us on April 10th, and the thing she is going to miss most is ”the people, the people, have been the best part of being here. I’m gonna miss the students!”
