My favorite memory is in 7th grade when we were doing a community service project. We were picking up leaves, riding around in the wheelbarrows, and we all jumped into the leaves.

I got into volleyball, hanging out with friends more, traveling and going on trips more, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE rollercoasters now.

What do you think is the most important lesson you’ve learned at MPFS?
The most important lesson I've learned at MPFS is to be nice and kind to everyone, to be inclusive, and to learn the SPICES.

Where are you going to high school?
I'm not sure yet because my family is moving away.

I am looking forward to science mostly, because I like doing experiments and learning new things. I would also like to play volleyball, but that's mainly it.

I'm not sure yet what I want to do in college or past then.

What advice do you have for next year’s middle school students?
I would say that they shouldn't focus on the bad and slow days. Instead, make the most of your last year here because it goes by so quick, and make as many memories as you possibly can.

Anything you want your family, friends, or teachers to know about you or your MPFS experience?
I would like them to know that I thank my teachers for being patient with us.
