🏅 Athlete of the Week: Emma Wapenski 🏅
Congratulations to 8th grader Emma Wapenski, a standout member of the FRCS Cross Country team! Emma’s love for sports doesn’t stop there—she’s also on the FRCS Track Team and loves playing basketball in her free time.
In the classroom, Emma shines just as brightly. Her favorite subject is Spanish with Ms. A, whose project-based approach makes learning fun and meaningful for her. Emma is passionate about learning a second language and appreciates the cool activities they do in class. She’s also inspired by Mr. Haskell, her all-time favorite teacher, who keeps his classes fun, engaging, and supportive.
Emma’s athletic role model? Celtic legend Larry Bird, a family favorite. As Emma puts it, “He wasn’t the fastest player, but he was the smartest!”
When she’s not busy with school or sports, Emma enjoys hiking, spending time with family, and, of course, pasta—her favorite dish, whether homemade or from a restaurant!
From her coaches: “Even as an 8th grader, Emma is a true leader on the cross-country team. She’s a great kid, a fierce competitor, and truly deserving of this honor!”
Way to go, Emma! 🏃♀️💙 #FRCSAthleteOfTheWeek #GoFalcons
