Why do you believe the star student athlete should be recognized?
Shelby was born with Bilateral Cleft Lip & Palate But that never stopped her. She is a Straight "A" 4.0 student. She is so kind to everyone. She has a singing voice that is unbelievable despite overcoming surgeries for cleft lip. She has been invited to sing for many events. She has been invited to represent the USA in Spain for soccer. She went last year & has been invited back this year. She is super artistic & excels at everything she tries. She is humble & caring. There is absolutely nothing she can't do or won't try & is not satisfied unless she does it best. She attends El Segundo High. Shelby is amazing!
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star student athlete?
She is caring & humble. She has a heart of gold.
Keep up the great work, Shelby 10th Grade!
