Personalization, Risk-Taking, Integrity, Discovery, and Empowerment

Bethany is a beautiful soul, both inside and out. She is driven by her love for music and spends a lot of her free time with her band Behind Faith, in which she plays electric guitar and sings. Bethany has an affinity for the arts and has participated in many arts and music classes at Sanborn.

For fun, Bethany likes to look for frogs (her special interest), hang out with friends, and write. She has a strong talent in the area of poetry and creative writing and many of her current and former teachers are highly impressed by her writing abilities. Bethany manages a frog meme page on Instagram @phrogfanaccount (give her a follow!), which showcases her special interests and her “terrible” taste in humor. Bethany has overcome a lot in the past four years and has grown into an amazing and smart young woman. She is a great student and a good friend.

While at Sanborn, Bethany was a member of the Diversity Club and a member of Chorus during her Freshman and Junior years. Ms. Issak commented that she has one of the most lovely voices she has ever heard.

Bethany’s plan for the rest of her senior year and for post-secondary life is to join the world of work, where she would like to maintain a retail career with a job she enjoys.

Ms. Belcher stated, “Watching Bethany grow over the past 4 years has been a delight. Her kindness and generosity has not gone unnoticed and will be greatly missed!”
