Student Profile
Caitlyn, 7th Grade
St. Sylvester School
Caitlyn has a compassionate heart. In the fall, she took it upon herself to organize a teddy bear drive at her school for children affected by the recent hurricanes. Her Big Sibling Mentor, Brittany, also shared that when she took Caitlyn shopping for school supplies this school year, Caitlyn also used her own money to fill an extra backpack full of supplies for a child in need.
Caitlyn is not only kind, but a great leader. In fact, her school recently recognized her leadership by nominating her to participate in an outdoor exploration trip to Wyoming this summer. Only a handful of students were offered this opportunity and Caitlyn was honored to be selected.
