Exemplary Character

Mlodik has volunteered locally with Unified Pals, My Team Triumph, the Salvation Army and at an elementary school’s annual Run and Play event. She is also actively involved in her church, participating in making food for homeless shelters, charity pasta dinners and the holiday bake sale, while also serving at the annual Sportsman Banquet fundraiser and helping to organize a Halloween party for children. As part of her student council activities, Mlodik has also helped develop and manage a donation station in D.C. Everest’s cafeteria. With the assistance of her student council advisor and the school’s food program manager, she created a system where students can donate food items and students who need more to eat can meet those needs by taking items from the station.
