Favorite aspect of your school: My favorite aspect of Appleton North is the family and friendly atmosphere that it offers. It really makes me feel like going to North is something special.

If you have been involved in community service projects, which has been most rewarding and why? Every year, all levels of the Appleton North girls volleyball team volunteers with Special Olympics at a bowling event. It is rewarding because I see how special it is to the participants when I cheer or congratulate them. I really love to see the smiles and happiness that I can bring to someone when I volunteer.
