Erika Fleegle

 

Dance. Theater. Music. Art. Throughout most of her life, Erika has found a passion in each of these areas. Inspired by those who have taught (and continue to teach) her, she plans to teach others the importance of keeping arts education in elementary and secondary schools in order to contribute to the well-rounded student. She is currently a volunteer with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, a local organization that presents high-quality arts events and exhibitions and offers community education and engagement opportunities.

 

Kevin Hull

 

As a track athlete of ten years, Kevin is attuned to the student-athlete world, watching himself and others start organized sports in middle school and work their way up to the collegiate level. He has a great concern for the welfare of his teammates and even to the student-athlete body as a whole. For him, it is important to find a balance between the work of a student mixed with the work of an athlete, and most importantly, how to find a way to keep the athletic side from taking over the student realm.

 

Morgan St. Maxens

 

After interning in the summer of 2013 at KaBOOM!, a national nonprofit dedicated to saving play for children, she was inspired to do what she could to get the word out on the importance of free play for children. Children who are exposed to imaginitive play learn invaluable life skills that shape them into happy, healthy, well rounded adults.
