Accomplishments: Simrin has been in advanced math the last two years and is currently studying negative and positive integers.

Thus far, her favorite grade has been fifth grade because she has gotten to participate in a “Flash Mob," which is when a group gets together and practices a dance or song and then performs it at a certain time or place with others joining in.

Simrin is also excited that her class has begun writing a school newspaper, which Simrin plans to write an article for. 

She is also really excited about the end of the year field trip her class will take to Boomers in Livermore. 

All of these activities have helped make this school year a highlight for Simrin as she prepares to enter middle school in August.

Simrin has performed a dance in her school’s talent show for three years, with the same group of friends each year. This truly takes guts to get up in front of 470 of her peers for this annual event.

Simrin has also excelled outside of school. She participates in drama and has been in several plays. Her latest role was the snake, Kaa, in “The Jungle Book." 

In addition, Simrin has been a Girl Scout since kindergarten, and is now a Junior.

Key to Awesomeness: Simrin is a kind-hearted young lady who already gives back to others. She has donated her hair two times to “Locks of Love” and is currently growing her hair again to make this selfless donation to kids who have cancer.
