Many know Emily Chicoine as an incredibly kind friend, but what most don’t know is her participation in a few of the high school’s many extra curricular activities.

Emily, a senior at MHS, is far from average.  She bowls for the high school’s bowling team, one many may not even know exists; she’s president of the Chief’s Challenge club, the same club that puts sweet, positive post-it notes on your locker a couple times a year; and secretary of the Best Buddies club, a group where people get to make friends with peers with disabilities.

Emily has been a member of the bowling team since ninth grade when her teacher, coach of the boys’ bowling team, informed his students how fun the sport is and since joining, Emily can definitely agree with her former teacher’s opinion. “[My favorite part] is just all of the friendships I have made over the years and how close we’ve become,” Emily said.

Not only does Emily enjoy the fun and excitement of the team, but she, along with her teammates, works really hard and the team succeeds because of it. “The team went to the county tournament every year that I’ve been on it and Cameron Ahlers won All County last year,” Emily said.

Aside from bowling, Emily excels academically and as a result she received the National Spanish Exam Junior Travel Award last year which entitled her to a free trip to Spain.  “I visited Madrid, Segovia, Seville, and Granada,” she said.  The whole experience was very culturally-enriching and exciting for her.

Emily Chicoine is really an extremely likeable person thanks to her kindness, hard-work, positive attitude, and exceptional personality; I have yet to meet a single person with anything but kind things to say about her.
