Maribel Chabolla, an eighth-grade graduate of Sundale Union School, was honored on graduation night for her excellence in character. 

Each year, Sundale Union School recognizes a graduate for the Principal’s Mustang of Merit award. This graduate exemplifies all Six Pillars of Character: responsibility, caring, trustworthiness, citizenship, fairness, and respect.

"Maribel has shined from the inside out these last nine years at Sundale School, and has been quite the joy to have watched grow up to the quality young lady she is today," said Principal Cindy Gist. Additional Sundale staff described Maribel as funny, always smiling, a leader in class, and humble but outspoken if she sees something wrong. Simply beautiful inside and out! 

There is no doubt that Maribel Chabolla is most deserving of the Principal’s Mustang of Merit award.
