Stella Wrubel '24 Named Youth Leader of the Year at NTFB

Hockaday Fifth Grader Stella Wrubel was named the 2016 Youth Leader of the Year and awarded the Golden Fork Award by The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) along with her business partner, Quinn Graves. Stella began selling mistletoe on the sidewalk in front of her house four years ago, at six years old, to raise money for the Red Cross following Hurricane Sandy. In 2013, she brought it home for the North Texas Food Bank and in 2015 made a $39,155.86 contribution to the NTFB with the earnings. Stella and Quinn now sell mistletoe in Highland Park Village with a team of student volunteers, with matching gifts from HP Village, stores and companies. Stella is now gearing up for season 5 of “Quinn and Stella’s Jinglebell Mistletoe.” For more information visit kissandtella.com. Congratulations, Stella!
