The family that she has found here is unlike any other and she encourages you to try new things. Also be sure to keep an eye on Jenna (Donna) as she is amazing on/off the stage.

Now she is a freshman is Sparta High School kicking butt in academics, Symphonic band, show choir, home, and most importantly Mamma Mia! Kim would also like to say, "Thank you" to the teachers and parents who have led her to this goal. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be in this lovely musical.
