The first time I ever met Kelly Korek, she was giving a kind old gentleman grief for eating pistachios and reading the paper. Doesn’t really seem like Senior of the Week material. This poor guy was just enjoying an economical, energy-boosting snack, while keeping up with news from the entertainment industry, and here was Kelly running him through the wringer for it. For the next couple of hours, Kelly kept the audience laughing as she brought the house down with her performance as May in the GHS production of “Once in a Lifetime.” For her dedicated efforts to making herself and her school the best they can be, Kelly has been selected as our Senior of the Week. Besides her work in the theatre program, Kelly is an integral leader in the GHS Student Council. She also excels academically in a schedule that contains a number of challenging courses. From her teachers’ comments about her, it is obvious that Kelly is an enthusiastic, driven and generous individual who recognizes and embraces the value in making the world around her a better place. Thank you for all you’ve done for our Greendale High School community, Kelly, and all the best in your future endeavors!
