"KIKI" IRIAFEN

"Kiki" is also a proud graduate of St. Jane Frances de Chantal from the class of 2017. She is currently a senior at Harvard-Westlake High School. She has signed a letter of intent to attend Stanford University in the fall where she will join the Lady Cardinal's basketball team. "Kiki" stated, "My  fondest memories of SJF was the family-like atmosphere. We had a great sense of community. The 8th Graders would be very involved with helping the kindergarten and first graders acclimate to the school." She also described the importance of her faith formation. "Prayer was important part of our daily lives at SJF". She continues that tradition even today. "I say a quick prayer before every basketball game. I also prayed really hard when deciding on which college to attend. So, faith is clearly a big part of my life." The entire SJF family wishes her all the best as she heads off to college and chases her dreams. Go Cardinals! :)
