Mercedes Katherine will also be a 6^th grader at St. Mary’s Elementary School and really enjoys it.  This year she can finally be involved in school sports and band. She is beginning to learn how to play the flute and works on making baskets in basketball.  In her free time, she grabs a book, and when she finishes it, she gets very excited to tell everyone all about it. She has a very gentle nature toward pets. She enjoys eating any of mom’s test recipes, and the fresh winter snow. She is very sweet and can be very helpful.
