Chynna was awarded this honour after being runner-up in November. The school has 164 students in Grade 7 and the judging criteria includes the areas of supporting school spirit, positive peer relationships, leadership, attitude, helpfulness, and academic achievement. Chynna is the only student in Grade 7 asked to work in the school’s store and she has a regular shift in the office where she answers the phones and fulfils other receptionist duties. She ran on the cross country team last fall and plays flute in the junior band. She is also an original member of the Homework Club. Well done Chynna!
