Maya Simpson: Homecoming Queen Candidate

What activities are you involved in at North Penn?

“I’ve been involved in several things throughout my years at the high school and have tried a little bit of everything. This year I’ll be a returning member of the indoor and outdoor track team. I’ll also be doing key club, link crew, amnesty international, art club, AAAC, and I’ll be volunteering and helping to organize the Minithon.”

What does being on the homecoming court mean to you?

“Being on homecoming court to me means not only did my peers feel that I have earned the spot by being a kind and helpful member of the North Penn community, but it also means normalcy to me. Throughout the pandemic I have had a lot of struggles with mental health (which I am sure I’m not the only one) and with just the overall weirdness of the world, I have struggled to feel like a normal person. But having this opportunity has reminded me that even in the mess that the world is right now we can have some fun and normalcy.”

What is one interesting fact about you?

“One interesting fact about me is that I cannot go a day without eating a breakfast sandwich and it’s my favorite food!”
