Ella Wise is an amazing friend! She helps everyone with anything she can help with.
Avery Adams is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her. She supports me no matter what and I can always count on her to be there. She's funny and is one of the reasons I come to school.
Aubrey Lobdell is a good friend and I love spending time with her. She is a supportive team mate and makes my day better. She is always there for me. She brings a smile to my face every time. She's so silly and funny, and I cant imagine my day without her.
Just because one person says a mean comment, don't let it overshadow the thousands of compliments you've gotten before.
I would like to dedicate Aubrey Lobdell today for being a very good student at this school and a very good student leader. Aubrey always helps out with things during Student Leadership and is very kind and considerate when we are working concessions and throughout the school day. Thank you! -Kylie Coulthard
