Olivia completed her 7th grade year at Legg Middle School in 2021. She is an active leader holding the position of Vice-President in Student Council for her school, and she pushes herself academically, continuing to get straight A's. She will continue her path of taking advanced classes next year in 8th grade taking honors English, Spanish, and 9th grade Algebra 1. Olivia is an active participant in her church, helping to teach for VBS in the summers and participating in Youth Group. She spends her free time listening to music and dancing. She has been dancing for the Dance Factory since she was 3 and has been on the Dance Trilogy Dance Team for the past 7 years, earning many awards and a National Title 3 years ago and moving forward this year as a teacher to the young 5-year-old dancers. She has participated in Youth In Government for the past two years at the state level and was honored to lead as Speaker of the House for her delegation. This is something she enjoys and she knows will help her gain knowledge so she can continue her goal of becoming a lawyer someday or even the President of the United States. Olivia has been in band since she could join in 5th grade. She loves music and playing her flute alongside her brothers while they play the drums and saxophone. Music makes her happy and has been a great outlet to any stress that life throws her way. She is excited to heighten her flute talent even more this summer at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp.
