Sophie's love for theater is undeniable—it practically radiates from her! Last year, she landed the coveted lead role in the school musical Annie, a remarkable accomplishment that speaks volumes about her dedication and raw talent. Her passion for the arts doesn’t stop there; she is involved in multiple theater groups outside of school, honing her skills and performing in numerous plays, embracing every opportunity to bring stories to life. 

In addition to her love for theater, Sophie is a skilled swimmer and ice skater, gracefully gliding across the ice and slicing through the water with precision. One of her proudest achievements is mastering a perfect dive, a skill she has diligently practiced and perfected. The splash she makes is a testament to her hard work! Not only is she an incredible musical artist and athlete, but she is also a kind and welcoming leader at NEMS. As a valued member of the NEMS Student Council, Sophie enthusiastically assists with the planning and execution of community service and school events and is always eager to contribute. 

Beyond her leadership roles, Sophie has a knack for making other students feel welcomed and included. She treats her peers, teachers, and staff members with respect and kindness, contributing to a positive and supportive atmosphere at NEMS. Looking ahead, Sophie has high aspirations for the future, dreaming of working with children as a theater director or mentor, sharing her passion for the arts. 

With her diverse talents, commitment to leadership, and genuine kindness, there’s no doubt that Sophie is on her way to making a big impact anywhere she goes. Sophie’s passion and positive spirit will continue to inspire those around her for years to come. Keep soaring, Sophie! We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you accomplish in the future!
