Your State Representatives
State Representative Avery M.
“Our community is very diverse, with many students coming to our school throughout the year. I want to make them feel welcome.”
-Avery
Why Avery was Nominated:
Avery was involved in the Best Buddies program in elementary school and has chosen to continue her commitment to the program in intermediate school, when so many of her peers have become focused on fitting in and social acceptance. She is a very dedicated leadership student and is always willing to go above and beyond with her school and service commitments. She is very thoughtful when creating activities, making sure that they are accessible to all students. I am very thankful to have Avery on our student leadership team because she is an excellent role model when it comes to commitment, integrity, and ethical decision making.
