St. Michael’s High School graduating senior Melisa Varol will attend Arizona State University in the fall with plans to study dance and journalism. Missy has enjoyed being a member of the St. Mike’s Pony Express dance team for the last two years, with the team taking state and runner-up titles. She is also grateful for the learning, fun and friendships from the Dance Production and Performance group with Ms. Natasha, from her days at Los Alamos High. Missy is an honors student and enjoys playing music. She belongs to the YRUU youth group at the Unitarian Church of Los Alamos. Her mother Deborah Varol and stepfather Gencho Rusev of Los Alamos, and father Celal Varol of Midlothian, Virginia are very proud of her. Courtesy photo
