King Student Raising Funds for Leaders’ Conference

Katelyn Hartzell, a 13-year-old. 7th grader at King Middle School, is trying to raise $1500 so she can attend the National Young Leaders’ State Conference, which will be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts in December.

Katelyn, who lives with her dad on Brackett Street, has already raised over $900 of the cost, and hopes to raise the rest by the July 30th deadline for applications. Her dad opened a bank account called Hooray for Katelyn for the fundraiser.

Katelyn was nominated for the conference by a teacher at her school because of her outstanding scholastic achievements, and because she has demonstrated leadership potential, responsibility and respect.
