On July 13 I went to Kaposia Education Center to help serve food to the summer school kids and to kids and family’s who can’t afford lunches. I met Denise she was the head lunch lady who told everyone what to do. I also met Peggy and her husband who have volunteered serving lunches for four years! I just want to thank them and all volunteers for volunteering. We served over 100 kids and families. It was a great time and after I helped cleaned up and even got to see my 4th grade teacher.

On June 3, Lauren and I went to the Kaposia Days Candidate Showcase. It was very fun and interesting because the Kaposia Days Candidates got to make a dish that was traditional or represents themselves and their families. There was a lot of different dishes i never heard off and got to try like, schnekene which is a German dish and I hoped that I spelled it right. Lauren and I got to bound more with the candidates and and with the South St. Paul royalty ladies. We even got tot meet hopefully one of the new kings for the St. Paul Jr. Royalty.

On Saturday the 26th, we went to Good Samaritan Spring Brunch. We helped by setting up tables, escorting people to their tables, and greeted them. There was a lovely brunch, silent auction, and even a hypnotist. I even got to help with a magic trick!  We got to be hypnotized which was really cool! Although I can only remember somethings. We had a lot of fun! My mom Teresa even won a Wild fan basket at the silent auction. We had an amazing time and can not wait for our next volunteering event!

Tonight I was privileged to attend the Inver Grove Heights/ South St. Paul Rotary Club Dinner. The food was awesome and I got to meet some great people and hear about what they do to help our community. So cool! I also got to talk with some foreign exchange students which was super fun. I got to learn a little about where they’re from and what their culture is like. It was such an honor to be able to attend and so cool to meet people who were not only  making a difference in their community, but working to make it better.

On March 28, 2015 we took part in the community Easter egg hunt at Rich Valley Park.  It was very fun!  When we arrived, we mingled with all of the people attending and were divided into 3 to help the different age groups.  I was paired with Miss IGH, Trish Harwell.  We held up signs so the children knew where to line up to start the hunt.  I got to go to the middle of the field with a blow horn to start the race for eggs.  Each child was allowed to pick up 10 eggs but all were searching for the 3 sparkly, golden eggs that would earn them a special prize.  Everyone was very excited!  During the hunt, my royal sisters and I passed out information about the scholarship program and a lot of them were interested in finding out more.  We stayed until all the participants were gone.  It was a great day!!

I had a great opportunity to participate in the Reading Across America program! Hilltop Elementary asked if I was available to come in and read to the kids, I was happy to accept! I arrived at the school and was taken to a first grade class. I read the class “The Cat In The Hat Comes Back”! The class was so welcoming and I had a great time!
