Not-So-Interesting Facts About Me:I have one Maverick alumnus, Daryn ~ Class of 2016, two current Mavericks: Kalyb ~ Class of 2024, and Kalynn ~ Class of 2029, a furbaby in heaven, Chip (RIP) and two current furbabies Harmony Rose and Toby De'ohge!
I am 6 feet tall, but cannot play basketball. My favorite color is purple, favorite scent is lavender, favorite fruit is grapes, and favorite drink is cranGRAPE juice. I literally LOVE anything Purple. My favorite snack is honey roasted cashews, favorite animal is the butterfly, and my favorite restaurant is Waffle House. I am a huge football fan & attend most, if not all, GHS home games. My college teams are MSU and LSU (except for when they play MS State). My pro picks are the Seattle Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers.
We are all super excited about the upcoming school year!
