Maela is a 2013 graduate of St. Thomas More Academy in SE Washington, DC.

Unlike some girls her age, Maela possesses a quiet, yet confident demeanor. Perhaps such qualities are the mark a person grounded by their faith. Maybe it is result of eight years of education in St. Thomas More's safe and supportive environment. Whatever the answer may be, the end result is impressive.

Today, Maela is a student at XXXX 

While at St. Thomas More, Maela was a member of the choir. She participated in the school’s dance ministry, also called liturgical dance. At home, Maela enjoys singing and listening to music. Her favorite artists are Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce and Katy Perry.

While the performing arts are one area of focus in Maela’s life, academics are another. Maela’s favorite subject is Language Arts but she continues to excel in all areas of school. 

When asked what expectations she has of God for her future, Maela says “I expect He will wake me up in the morning and continue to send me blessings.”
