In June, Sister Schools welcomed a new class of volunteers to the Board of Directors!
Marina Choi loves being outside, especially while backpacking, camping, or climbing. Since the pandemic started, she's been spending lots of time at home, something her dog, Jessie, certainly doesn't mind!
In addition to joining the Board at Sister Schools, Marina is also learning to play the cello and spending more time baking.
