Jill: I understand you are friends. What is your best memory
of your friendship?
Princess Peyton: We have been friends since Kindergarten.
We grew up together at Montowese School and even though we
drifted for some time throughout middle school, our bond never
weakened and here we are ten times closer best friends. My fa-
vorite memory of our friendship is honestly growing up together.
We have both come so far since Kindergarten and our families are
basically one. All the vacations and hang outs we have are never
bad times and we never have any dull moments.
Princess Madison: Peyton and I have been best friends since
kindergarten, which is 13 years. The best memory of our friend-
ship is no matter what we go through in our lives, “Pey” is always
the first person I text, whether it be to rant or to have a shoulder
to cry on. For me, without siblings, Peyton is like my sister and
having her in my life as a best friend will always be the best mem-
ory I could ever have.

Jill: If you could change one thing about North Haven, what
would it be?
Princess Peyton: Hmmm, that is a tough question. I think
it would be to have more town events to bring the community
closer. The Festival was really fun.
Princess Madison: If I could change one thing about North
Haven, it would be to have gatherings all the time where families
could gather, meet and become a close knit community.
