“It just comes back around to treat others how you would want to be treated,” Emily Heffner, winner of the Barberi Law’s Bikes for Kids Program, said.
Helping her community and family is something Emily Heffner, 14, of Gaylord, does naturally. Her grandma wanted to recognize all of Heffner’s hard work, so she nominated her to win a bike through Barberi Law’s Bikes for Kids program.
Mary Evans, Heffner’s grandma, said Heffner was out mowing her lawn when she decided to nominate her for the bike.
“She has volunteered several years at Toys for Tots and Coats for Kids,” Evans wrote in her nomination. “She has helped with judging at the county fair, and has also worked in the fair kitchen, which raises money for the fair and the Disciples of St. Mary. She made doll blankets to be given out to girls receiving a doll from Toys for Tots. She also made 30 pairs of mittens from wool sweaters that were given out to kids receiving Coats for Kids. Emily is an all A student and plays sports. She also helps her family with gardening, lawn mowing and cutting, splitting and stacking firewood. An all-around great teenager!”
Heffner said it’s nice to know her grandparents appreciate what she does for them.
Heffner will be in ninth grade at Gaylord High School. She loves playing sports, especially softball, camping and being outdoors. English is her favorite subject because she likes writing, and she likes gym a lot.
