Throughout the past few years, Jaime has been involved in a variety of volunteer work. While at school, she was a member of the student council since 2022 and served as secretary for the past two years. In this role, she helped organize school events and spirit days, and acted as a voice for student questions and concerns. We met weekly to discuss current and future activities and as a member of the executive council, she also volunteered additional lunch breaks and after school time to help with events. She has also participated in other school-based volunteering, such as the annual highway cleanup and scorekeeping for sports games.
Outside of school, she was involved in many community volunteer events through her membership in the Vegreville Rotary Interact Club. It is a student-led volunteer organization that focuses on community service and humanitarianism. As a third year member and vice president of the club, she was responsible for the planning and organizing of many events. These include helping at town-organized events, such as the Christmas Bureau, the corn maze and FCSS face painting. As well, she organized monthly visits to Vegreville Manor for bingo with the seniors and regular trips to help at the Food Bank. She also participated in fundraising events, like bottle drives, to fund an annual humanitarian trip to Belize to build a playground. She has attended this trip the past two years, and while there, spent a week helping build a playground for an underprivileged school in the Belize City area. Her membership in the Rotary Interact Club has allowed her to give back to her community and help support those in need, all while being part of a positive group of students.
