| Hello! I'm Katherine and I am in grade 8 at Stratford Central. This is my second time at the CWSF, and I am thrilled to be back. Last year, I won the gold medal in Computing and Information Technology. My other competitive experiences include public speaking and recitation, dance, drama, creative writing and the Historica fair. I am very involved at school, where I am the Student Council president, and a member of the Environment Club, Yearbook Committee, Choir, Band, the school play, soccer and track & field. Outside of school, I am engaged in with many activities and events such as the Kiwanis festival, and volunteering throughout the community. My hobbies and interests include the environment, dance, drama, golf, swimming, music, technology, robotics and spending time with friends. I am really looking forward to earning my Bronze Medallion in lifesaving this summer. Later in life, I want to continue to help our government and the world become more environmentally aware by becoming a politically active performer or inventor. |
