Sedgefield Student Attends Presidential Inauguration

Press Release, Berkeley County School District

Sedgefield Middle seventh grader Christina “Dani” DuBois is experiencing the 57th presidential inauguration firsthand.  

On Friday, Jan. 18, Dani left for the nation’s capital, where she and other select students from across the country participated in the prestigious Middle School Presidential Inaugural Conference.  The Middle School Presidential Inaugural Conference is a five-day program that provides scholars with a deeper understanding of the history behind the electoral process and the rich traditions surrounding the inauguration. The Inaugural Scholars heard about growing up in the first family from former first daughters Barbara Pierce Bush and Jenna Bush Hager, explore the numerous historic sites and memorials in the nation’s capital, and participate in activities designed to expand their knowledge of democratic principles and the presidential election process. 

12-year-old Dani is the middle of three children and lives with her siblings, mother, and father—a reservist in the Air Force—in Goose Creek. This Honor Roll student remains incessantly busy with her time invested in a variety of extracurricular activities, academic pursuits and activities at church. Dani is a member of the B-Team cheerleading squad with Goose Creek High and Sedgefield Middle’s all-girls robotics team. She also plays the violin in her school’s strings program and was recently invited to participate in the All County Strings Program. With career aspirations of becoming a NICU nurse, Dani loves to work with children and has a special place in heart for those with special needs. She loves to volunteer, babysit, cheer, dog-sit, swim, and spend time with her family.
