THE BVR STUDENT
Eva Bachman ’31 presented: Sleeps, eats healthy food, and is physically active.
I picked this element of the Beaver Student because if you sleep well and take care of yourself, you can be your best self at school and pay attention better. I always try to be at my best in class. One way I do this is by being on a team at Beaver. Fencing keeps me active every day.
