Chloe Zimmerman 8th

Chloe Zimmerman is in 8th grade at Ephrata Mennonite School. She enjoys playing sports and socializing with her friends at school. She enjoys extracurricular activities such as playing on the girl’s volleyball team, which actually did really well this year. She also plays basketball, which isn’t her first option, but hey, who doesn’t like playing sports for the fun of it.

One thing she would like to do after high school is attend EBI where her uncle works. While she is in high school she is going to have spare time just like anyone else. One of her favorite things she does in her spare time is being outdoors. When she can’t be outside she likes to read or play the piano.

On Sundays she attends Cornerstone Mennonite Fellowship with her family. One thing she would like to change in the world is the amount of people that have not heard the word of God.
