Abby Church of Halstead was chosen as the KDWP/Rainer Call of the Wild recipient for April, for her interest in fishing and the outdoors. Church plays volleyball and softball for the Dragons.

“How I got into outdoor activities was my dad,” Church said. “When I was younger we were always doing something outside.”

The summer months are the time of the year that Church enjoys the most, as she tries to find as much time to be outside as possible, especially fishing.

“I spend a lot of time outside especially in the summertime when it is warm. My friend has a couple ponds that I like to fish at. County lakes and creeks on the side of the road are usually pretty good spots too.”

Outside of outdoor sports and what she competes in with the Dragons, Church is also a part of the Executive Boards for Student Council and Kay Club.

Next year, Church plans on attending Fort Hays State University, where she wants to major in education.
