Blake Shore has a plan. The Saddle River Day School senior is headed to Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina to study biology next fall and is already hard at work building his scientific resume. Blake intends to combine his interest in the biology of living organisms with his desire towards service to “help people in need of medical care.”
