December 2022 Face of Great Futures



Yacely is 7 years old and a 2nd grader at Parkside Elementary. This is her second year being a part of the Boys & Girls Club and she loves it! Yacely’s favorite thing about Club is the art activities, especially coloring. She shared that she is good at both coloring and drawing, and would like to be a painter when she grows up.

Yacely really enjoys playing with her friends; she added that has about 17 really good friends! Her favorite thing to learn in school is writing, while her least favorite is reading. Yacely loves to eat pepperoni pizza, and her favorite color is pink. She is happiest when people give her a hug, and also when she does well on her writing and math tests in school. 

Yacely is very proud to be a Parkside Panther!

Yacely lives with her mom, dad, 10 year old brother, and 14 year old sister. She shared that her favorite place to visit is Milwaukee, “because there are a lot of stores with cute stuff!” Another fun place she has visited with her family is Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconsin Dells, and she had so much fun going swimming there! 

Yacely stated that if she had three wishes, they would be to 1) have a pool INSIDE her house, 2) have a REAL unicorn named “Rosa”, and 3) have a really big family. Yacely has learned that “you should always be respectful.” Her advice for younger kids at Club is to “be nice to everybody.”
