This week's Star is Kaylin Anduze. She is a six-year-old kindergartner at Sandhill Elementary. Kaylin is expecting a little brother or sister in a few months. She's so excited that she even has names picked out already!
This little Star loves to listen to music and sing along. She even has her very own karaoke machine! Kaylin is also a big animal lover and recently added a tea cup Yorkie named Lily to her pet family. Some of her other hobbies are swimming, playing outside, and spending time with her family.
