State Representative Jalyn M.
“I try my hardest to include everyone.”
-Jalyn
Why Jalyn was Nominated:
I believe that Jalyn would be a great leader in our school to co-lead the We Dine Together along with other nominees (Alicia and Sydney). Gardiner Middle School is one of the middle schools that feed into Oregon City High. Shaylee, the Be Strong Rep at Oregon City High, attended GMS and met with us to discuss what she does and how we can support/introduce the program at our middle school. Jalyn is outgoing, kind, smart and takes an interest in ALL students. Middle school is an awkward time in a teen’s life and Jalyn wants to bring a sense of unity for everyone.
