Rowan Bienapfl, Staff Reporter
Junior Rowan Bienapfl has lived in Oregon her entire life and enjoys the rain that comes each season. She enjoys walking her chickens and adding to her plant collection, but spends most of her free time hiking, reading, painting, listening to music, and napping.
Her current goal is to learn basic Russian and Ukrainian so she can better understand the people affected by the war reaching out for help at the church she serves at.
At La Salle, she runs varsity cross country and track. She is also a member of the swim team. Her favorite part about sports at La Salle is the strong sense of family within the teams. Rowan’s favorite classes at La Salle are Honors English II and Honors Chemistry. She hopes to pursue a career in biology, becoming either a plant or surgical pathologist.
