"This year Katie Leong, from Fremont Christian School, truly takes on the meaning of hard work as a junior in interact! Even though not an officer, she takes the initiative to attend events and willingly volunteers to help out as much as possible. Just recently she was apart of registration committee for our benefit show, and continued to help out with merchandise throughout the night. Community wise, she has even branched out to local organizations such as Abode, for schools to provide service for. Her actions this year as a general member has set her apart, because of the responsibility she's taken upon herself to encourage other members to actively participate in our events. Our officers at FCS see Katie's passion for service, as a brighter future for the members of interact to be inspired by."

She has taken initiative several times and I can see how selfless she is by the outstanding commitment she has in everything she does. Seeing her blossom at PWR was amazing. She showed that she could be just as passionate and dedicated as any other president or officer. Alexis is also a great listener, seeks to achieve the best, and wants to learn more.

Jahred Barron (Fremont Christian)
"Jahred really began to get more involved in Interact after his tenure in basketball. While only a sophomore, he started to show potential as a future leader through his initiative and dedication to our events. Every week, he would ask our events coordinator if he could help with planning anything out for the next event. With his passion, he ran for events coordinator for the 2015-2016 school year and won his position along side Interactor of the month candidate Dillon Oh.
