Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!

Olivia is a kind and respectful person. She always says hi or gives a wave when I see her in the neighborhood. She is a great student and works very hard to maintain her good grades. She's also a terrific athlete. While her main sport is soccer, at school she has also participated in softball, cross country, basketball and volleyball. She is the kind of person who leads by example, and it's heartwarming to see young adults like Olivia in our community.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your graduating student nominee?

She's very humble. She works hard and accomplishes a lot, but she doesn't do it for attention or accolades, even though she deserves them!

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Olivia!
