Why They Love Being a Student

Tayten loves to learn new things. He is always pursuing new interests and putting effort into new crafts. He loves to read about all kinds of things from the plants he loves to learning new trades! He has learned so much being in FFA and working at our school district's after school program SafeBase where he truly enjoys sharing the things he has learned with younger students.

Favorite Subject & Why

Tayten loves history and loves to learn about all eras of history. He is in a group that participates in Civil War Reenactments and loves the opportunity to share the history and keeping it alive. They recreate important Civil War battles and share their knowledge of the history with others!

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

Tayten would be able to use the money to pursue his interest in Taxidermy, which he is very very excited about! Tayten has started his own garden, meat rabbitry program and loves working with metal in his forge, but is most excited to continue to learn more about Taxidermy and getting into the field as there are none in our area who provide this service. This would be the most amazing help for him to work toward his future!
