Spud Spotlight shines on Abigail Von Bank. Mrs. Michener says Abby is such a kind and generous person. She has an infectious personality and can light up any room (or google meeting) she enters. It is hard to not feel happy when she is around. Abby is a very hard worker and dedicated to her schooling and extracurricular activities. She has been such a blessing and wonderful role model for the 9-11 graders who are new members in Philanthropy and Youth (PaY). Moorhead High School is so fortunate to have such a caring person attending our school. I have zero doubt that whatever career Abby decides to pursue she will be successful. I am so thankful that I have gotten to know her this year through PaY. Abby, you rock! Congratulations on being a #spudofcharacter!
