What Makes Her a Whiz Kid: For me, it's gumption. That little extra energy for life. Hayley has that spirit in spades. She's always willing to get in there and try something new. Hayley has already earned her black belt in tae kwon do, she earns high marks in school, and is her 5th grade class president. Always willing to share her enthusiasm, you will often find Hayley cheering on her brother Parker, and other friends, at their sporting events, bringing a contagious excitement to everything she does. Hayley's newest love is basketball, which I'm certain she will pour her entire heart into, because as she would say: "that's how she rolls." Beyond her accomplishments, Hayley is just an all around good kid, with an immense love for animals, and a smile for all she meets. I'm proud to have her as a good citizen in our community and as a friend.
