Name: Bridget Plender

Parents: Blake and Marcia Plender

Hobbies/Interests: In my free time, I enjoy reading, art projects, watching various movies, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends.

School activities: Throughout high school, I have been involved in band, choir, orchestra, student council, National Honor Society, plays, musicals, and large group speech. 

Spare time activities: In my spare time, I like to bake, go on bike rides in the summer with my family, and attend Trinity Reformed Youth Group. This past summer, I cleaned schools for MOC-Floyd Valley. You can also find me spending quality time with my siblings and dog, Casper. 

Education/career plans: After high school, I plan on attending a four-year college where I hope to major in elementary education or early childhood development. 

Past Tulip Festival participation: I’ve been part of the Tulip Festival ever since I was a baby, from scrubbing streets and riding parade floats to doing Dutch games, senior Dutch dancing, participating in Dutch Dozen, and marching with the MOC-Floyd Valley bands. One year I even ran the one mile race with my brother!
