March 2011's Featured Student is
Khevryl McPherson!

Richard Cazeau (left) with Khevryl.

I started off in the French Immersion program when I was in grade one and I am now a grade 10 French Immersion student at Ajax High School.

As for my hobbies, I’m usually doing something music-related, or being physically active.
I’m always listening or playing music, I play the piano, and the alto saxophone. I love music, it’s my mind’s best friend. I consider myself athletic, I play a high level of soccer, so I need to be physically fit. To me, staying fit, is just as important as my education, as a healthy body, leads to a healthy mind.
