Katie B earns Gold Award

Senior Katie B. had a busy spring and summer. The varsity softball pitcher presented a free softball camp to girls first through fourth grade. Not only did she plan the entire week's events, she recruited volunteers and she held fund raisers all year to pay for the expenses. The girls learned how to hit, field and pitch throughout the week. The week culminated in a game where the girls put there new skills into action. Each girl was presented her own softball to practice and framed photo to commemorate the camp. The over 100 hours put in by Katie was appriciated by all th girls! Congratulations Katie!!
