December JH Student of the Month: Karly Wetherell
Karly Wetherell, the daughter of Luke and Lauren Wetherell, was named December Junior High Student of the Month. She is in the eighth grade. She was nominated by her teachers because she is motivated, a hard worker and encourages others. She is involved in school volleyball, Rapid Fire Volleyball club and school basketball. Her favorite subject is math, because she thinks it is most important to learn. In her free time she enjoys playing sports and being active. In the future, she wants to play volleyball in college and become an athletic trainer. Now, to move on to some fun facts. If she ever won the lottery, she would buy a vehicle and animals. She would also save some for college. If a genie was able to grant her one wish, she would want to be able to go to the University of Texas for college. If she had one super power, she would want to be able to teleport. Then she could see how the world was back then and see her family members that have passed away. So far, her favorite school experience was in kindergarten when they had Grinch Days.
