CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Each week during the school year, Project L.I.F.T. selects a student who is excelling not only inside the classroom, but outside as well. The student - along with their favorite teacher - is featured every Wednesday on WBTV News on Bounce at 8 p.m.

The program operates within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) System.

This week's scholar is Katherine Hernandez-Flores, a 2nd grader at Druid Hills Academy.

Bio: Katherine grew up speaking Spanish and English at home and received speech therapy when she was younger. This intervention helped her succeed academically-currently, Katherine is at the top of her class in both reading and math.

Her favorite subject is reading. She loves to read books about history and biographies of people who made positive contributions to their communities.

Outside of school, Katherine participates in swim lessons and recently won a medal for meeting all her swimming requirements.

Katherine would like to be a police officer after she graduates from school. She would like to help people in her community, protect others, and help create peaceful communities for people to live.
