| Lauren - My name is Lauren Yacula and this is my second year as a CWSF finalist. I am 14 years old and was born on February 7, 2002. I have 2 younger sisters that are awesome friends. We enjoy playing outside and making videos together. I am currently in Grade 8 at R.Ross Beattie Public School. At school, I am involved with Reach for the Top, Volleyball, Badminton, Cross-country skiing and play the trumpet in our school band. My best friend Kaylee and I worked on our science fair project together and are very excited about the CWSF in Montreal this year. After school, I enjoy taking dance classes and voice lessons. I am currently an assistant coach at our gymnastic centre and enjoy coaching the younger children. After high school, I would like to attend University and become a Family Physician. | | Kaylee - My name is Kaylee Mainville and I am a grade 8 student at R. Ross Beattie in Timmins, Ontario. I play on a ringette team and I participate in cross-country running and track and field. I love to dance and have been on my dance studio’s competitive team for 2 years. I take lessons in ballet, tap and contemporary dance. I enjoy being outdoors, biking, skiing and learning new tricks on my trampoline. I have participated in several duathlons and triathlons. The things that I am most proud of are: coming in first place in a cross-country race for my entire school board and winning high gold (score of 92.29) along with a first place award for a tap duet with my sister. The inspiration of our project came from an interest in chemical reactions and wanting to know if I really do need to eat my fruits and vegetables. This is our second time participating in the CWSF and we are very excited to have the opportunity to travel to Montreal! |
