Star Student of the Week Natasa was our star student of the week. Natasa lives in Woodridge with her mom and cat. When she is at school she enjoys playing outside. When she is at home she likes to play with her cat. Some really cool facts about Natasa are: she once did 20 flips in the water really fast, she did 30 math cards fast and she played on a volleyball team that won. When she grows up she would like to be a volleyball player. Natasa is a star because she is nice to other people. Thanks for sharing Natasa!
