The Menomonie Sunrise Rotary Club is pleased to recognize Liam Wachewicz, a senior at Menomonie High School, as its October 2026 Youth of the Month.

Liam demonstrates leadership through his involvement in Student Council, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) and three sports: hockey, baseball and football. His willingness to take on responsibilities across multiple activities reflects initiative, teamwork and a commitment to his school community.

He is respected for his work ethic and ability to balance academics with extracurricular commitments. Liam’s leadership extends beyond formal titles, demonstrated through consistent participation, accountability and a willingness to contribute to others.

Through Student Council, he represents his peers and collaborates on initiatives that encourage school spirit and student engagement. His involvement in FBLA provides opportunities to develop business knowledge and leadership skills, while athletics strengthens his understanding of teamwork, perseverance and responsibility.

Liam also takes classes through Chippewa Valley Technical College, further expanding his academic opportunities. After graduation, he plans to attend a four-year college, major in finance and pursue a career as a financial adviser.
