Buck Road Primary School principal Colleen Henry said they’re proud of Hendricks’ achievements: “As a school community, we are extremely proud of Cassidy Hendricks’s achievement. Cassidy’s successful story is a ray of sunshine for our school community.”
If competing in national literacy competitions isn’t enough, Hendricks said she was on a mission to learn more languages.
While some adults are still struggling to master the English language, this little brainiac has taken on learning French as well.
“I am a girl. Je suis une fille,” she said.
Hendricks’ started learning French earlier this year because she was intrigued by the Eiffel Tower. Other than learning new languages, Hendricks also has a love for food and has already tried her hand at making scones and biscuits.
“One day I want to become a chef so that I can cook delicious food,” she said.
Who knows, maybe one day Cassidy will find herself working in or possibly owning a restaurant in France.
