Rachael is a member of the senior class and lists anatomy and senior English as her favorite subjects. She is a member of the varsity cheerleading and softball teams, Future Farmers of America, and peer tutoring.

Dedication Planned
On Sunday, June 7, in conjunction with Youth Appreciation Sunday (ages infant through college), East Ridge Union Church will be dedicating the new stained glass window in memory of former pastor Steve Perry during the morning service at 10 a.m. The window was made possible, in part, thanks to a generous donation from Lois Ladner, Steve’s aunt, to the memorial fund.
