Abby Sr. Secondary graduates marked their Grad Ceremony this evening. It was a very inspiring and motivating evening to be a part of. GirlKIND gave out its first scholarship, Gabrielle MacGregor was the recipient.

Gabe has worked very hard in various aspects of her academic career as well as taken a active interest in her community. She inspires other to give more and encourage others to learn about engage about things that matter. She has been an avid supporter of GirlKIND who not only has been advocating for what GirlKIND represents but has held fundraising events to help raise funds for GirlKIND. She truly represents the qualities that reflect GirllKIND values. I am very happy that she is the first recipient to receive this award and I know that she will be very grateful knowing that we helped her along the way.

Congrats to Grads of 2017!
