Cape Kid of the Month: September 2017: Abby Johnson

It is with great pride that we introduce Abby Johnson as our first Cape Kid of the Month for the 2017-2018 school year.  Abby has been a volunteer for Wear The Cape since she was in Middle School, helping with our annual holiday event and as an active member of our Junior Board, which is a group of fifteen young adults who help guide the ideals of kindness.

Now a senior at Bridgewater- Raritan High School, Abby works extremely hard to maintain her high grade point average, while taking honors classes, being student council representative, and being an officer on SHARE – Student Help And Resistance Education, where she leads anti-drug training to her peers.

After school hours, Abby volunteers as a basketball statistician, which she has done throughout all four years of high school. She also plays field hockey, where she served as captain of her team her Freshman year.

Abby is passionate about her dance career. She has attended Gotta Dance Studio as a Jazz Dancer since she was in Kindergarten. Throughout the years, Abby has won awards for being on the Dynamic Team and Showstoppers Troop Member.

Abby is a kindhearted and beautiful young woman, both inside and out.  While others were planning days at the beach or pool during the summer, Abby was volunteering at Rustic Pathways, where she assisted in repairing schools and teaching English and leadership skills to children in impoverished communities in Costa Rica.

A dedicated sister to her younger siblings, Abby coached her younger sister, Grace’s Pee Wee Lacrosse Team and has helped her brother Peter navigate through his first year of high school.

The “A “ in Abby stands for AMAZING and this is truly what this fine young woman is – compassionate, kind, and loving. Thank you, Abby, for always wearing your cape and for putting kindness above all.
