Meet: Moana Laie: 6th Grade Student @Caliber: ChangeMakers

---

Words about Moana from her teachers: 
​"Oh my goodness! There are too many good things to say about this young lady. She is such a joy to have  in homeroom. She is kind, compassionate, and always in search of a way to help out. Moana loves to joke around with all her teachers and puts a smile on my face every single day! Moana is a leader to all middle school and I can't wait to see her flourish in the upcoming years!"

"Heed these words, everyone. There is no better dinosaur-dancing, patty-cake playing, student sketch-drawing, hot and spicy Skittle eating, avid book reading turned mobile library coordinating Firebird on campus. Moana simply rocks."

A recent interview with Moana:
What is your favorite thing about  Caliber?
I like how all the teachers and staff are supportive. If you make a decision, they help you get through it instead of jumping to conclusions and that has helped me a lot! 
 
What was your favorite subject in school and why?
My favorite subject is English because I like to write and  because it helps me express myself. It also makes me feel better when I write because it allows me to understand what I am feeling. 

What is your favorite memory associated with music (maybe a memorable concert, or playing an instrument yourself!)?  
My favorite memory is the music concert we had at school. The younger kids sang and the rest played instruments. We used buckets to make sounds and it was really cool. I really enjoyed it. 

If you could go on a dream vacation, what would you do + where would you go?
I would go to American, Somao- that’s my nationality and I don’t know a lot about it. If I went I would go meet my family there and get to know them better. 

What is your favorite thing about the Bay Area (or specifically Vallejo)?
My favorite thing about Vallejo is when we have the gatherings at the marina. Just recently they had a bunch of food trucks come in and there were a bunch of activities. It's really fun for everyone. 
 
What is one fun fact that most people don't know about you?
A fun fact that people find crazy about me is that I have 5 younger siblings. I have a sibling in 5th , 3rd, and 2nd grade oh and a 3 year old! I'm the eldest.
