Lainey Monnington is the daughter of Trampus Monnington and Nicole and Chris Will.
Lainey thinks that she was selected due to the fact that she is hard working, respectful and asks
questions.
Throughout high school, she has participated in FBLA, HOSA, NHS, FFA, Band and Scholar’s Bowl.
Mrs. Vinduska believes that Lainey was selected
because she is involved in numerous organizations, is a classroom leader and exhibits excellent
character.
Congratulations, Lainey!
