As a student at Our Lady of Malibu School, Ashlyn Kunerth volunteered much of her free time helping preschoolers in Malibu. Kunerth, an eighth grader, has only had “kind and loving” interactions with the younger students with whom she worked. Kunerth was described by a teacher as a “dedicated learner,” known for “immersing herself in knowledge and going above and beyond in all academic realms.” Her hard work in school has earned her the respect of both her classmates and teachers.
