PACE Student of the Year- Abby Bolton
Abby Bolton in an 8th grade student who is a driving force of the leadership team, a volleyball & tennis player, a PE Champion, and one of those lunch helpers we honored. She earned a perfect 4.0 all 3 years here at Selkirk. Mrs. Pecha says that “Abby sets a standard of excellence for those around her through her quiet leadership. She is hard-working, dependable, and considerate.” Mrs. Wolff describes Abby in this way: “Abby leads through action instead of volume. She advocates for others with questions paired with a respectful tone. She is reliable and maintains integrity at all times. “The quiet warrior,” is how Mr. Weis refers to Abby. He says, “She excels academically, is involved in numerous extracurricular activities and is a great friend to all her classmates.”
It is a privilege to know you, Abby Bolton, and to get to claim you as a member of our PACK and Selkirk’s 2024 PACE Student of the Year.
We know you’ll continue to do great things. Congratulations.
