| Samara - My name is Samara Green, I was born and raised here in Thompson Manitoba and attend Grade 8 at Ecole Riverside Elementary School. I have been participating in school Science Fairs since Grade 3. Science fairs here in Thompson a Northern remote community sometimes can be challenging as we have to be more creative with our ideas. If it wasn't for our Science teacher Mme. Mervat pushing us to try something different we would not be here today. My favorite subjects are Science and English. I love all sports but my favorite is basketball and dancing. I like hanging out with my friends, swimming and just being outside. I enjoy spending time with my family. I like Volunteering in Community events like parades, Manitoba Games, doing shoot a thons with my basketball team to help raise money for various groups within our community Hope North Suicide Prevention, breakfast programs and make a wish foundation .
