In school, Elena loves to read. She says she reads 10 to 20 books a day! She also really enjoys writing time and telling her stories through written words.

Elena takes piano lessons and loves to practice piano even when she doesn’t have a planned lesson. She has been working hard for months in the production “Frog and Toad.”  She performs at the this Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. — tickets are still available! She is a mouse in this production. She loves acting so much that she’s already looking forward to her next acting opportunity in “Sleeping Beauty.”

On weekends, Elena likes updating her new house with her family — they like to work together to paint the walls. She also likes going out to dinner with her brother, sisters, mom, and dad. Her favorite restaurant is Red Robin because she likes to get a shake after her meal. She loves ordering their steak!

Future Goals: Elena definitely wants to go to college. She wants to go to the same college her mom went to, back in Michigan. Someday, she thinks she might want to be a teacher.

She also can see herself having her own house someday and children. Maybe she’ll paint her house with her own kids like she does with her family now!
