Kenya Garcia named March Sauk Prairie Optimist Student of the Month

Kenya Garcia, daughter of Olga Garrido, is the March Optimist Student of the Month. She is a valued student of the high school who has demonstrated incredible growth. When she started here, Kenya was a quiet student who mostly kept her head down and kept to herself. Four years later, the young lady who stands here with us today is completely different. Kenya has grown into an advocate for herself and for others. Kenya has a genuine and kind heart. She has the ability to see and reach out to other students who are often not seen by their peers. She makes them feel valued and part of the group. Kenya has worked hard and when she puts her mind to something, she cannot be stopped. She plans to enter the workforce initially with dreams of going to college for cosmetology and opening her own shop one day!
