Mia is a super great kid and is also a grade A student all through middle school. She excels in basketball, winning MVP for St. Mark in Catonsville. Her lacrosse career stems from an early age, and she has been accepted into Roland Park Country School this fall. Mia is a joiner and loves people; she belongs to the NHS and chorus and plays tennis for Arbutus Middle School. She definitely deserves this honor.
