ALL STUDENTS:

The female Student Athlete for February is Kati Livingood. The girls swim and dive student athlete of the month nomination is Katie Livingood. Katie has had a tremendous season thus far, qualifying for state in every event that she has swam. Whether it’s the sprint 50 Free, distance 500, or the difficult 100 Fly, she has proved that she can do it all.. More so, she has been an integral member of the team’s relay successes, having become a key member of the 200 Medley and Freestyle relays this season. This is a testament to her increased off season efforts in the pool, which helped her swim faster, stronger, and more focused throughout the year. A great leader in and out of the pool, Katie has displayed phenomenal effort and dedication to the sport this season. She is a role to the younger swimmers, gives it her all at every practice, and consistently leads by example. We are excited to see what she can do at League and State over the next two weeks! Congratulations Kati! Kati was nominated by Coach Mullarkey

The female Student Athlete of the Month for February is Kylee Ornstein D’Evelyn High School Junior Kylee Ornstein is a 3 Sport Athlete, and is exceptional in all 3 of them. In the Fall Kylee is the starting centerfielder for the Jags Softball Team and in the Spring, Kylee is a Varsity Athlete on the Jags Women’s Soccer Team. During this current Winter Sports Season, Kylee is a key member of the Evergreen HS Ski Team. So far this season Kylee has won the Slalom Race at Winter Park and Ski Cooper, she took a 2nd place finish at Loveland and finished 8th at Beaver Creek. She has already qualified for the State Meet in both the Slalom and Giant Slalom. Kylee is a tremendous competitor, as well as an extremely hard worker. Kylee is outstanding in the classroom and is a great teammate and leader! Well done Kylee! Congratulations Kylee! Kylee was nominated by the Evergreen HS Ski Team Coaching Staff

 CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE FINE STUDENT ATHLETES!

Jr. High Male:

The junior high male scholar of the month is Sean Cerrone. Sean is a sharp and attentive student. He comes to class eager to learn and is always willing to contribute to class discussions. He has a thorough comprehension of the material we cover and has been an excellent contributor to the positive learning culture of the classroom.  I'm proud of the positive example he sets in the classroom for both academic and behavioral excellence and am happy to nominate him as scholar of the month. Sean was nominated by Mr. Powers.

Jr. High Female:

The junior high female scholar of the month is Kizzy Shepherd. Kizzy has started the spring semester with an inspiring sense of passion and dedication for her schoolwork. Kizzy’s work ethic during class, and attention to detail while taking notes, has made an impression on her teacher and classmates. She is engaged during class and is eager to share ideas and experiences that help to enhance the class discussion. The academic and leadership skills that Kizzy has demonstrated will not only make a meaningful impact in her Life Science class for the remainder of the year, but will continue to make positive ripples throughout her academic career at D’Evelyn. Kizzy was nominated by Ms. Zitricki. 

High School Male:

The high school male scholar of the month is Abe Saks. Abe is an enthusiastic, respectful, and dedicated student that strives to learn to mastery. Abe takes every opportunity to learn from his mistakes in the interest of continuous improvement of himself. Abe is actively involved with the D’Evelyn Service Corps and participated in every service project this year. Abe is a fantastic member of all his classes; students such as Abe are valuable assets to D’Evelyn Jr/Sr High. Abe was nominated by Mr. Ray and Coach McKellips.

High School Female:

The high school female scholar of the month is Cathay Nguyen. Cathay is an exceptionally hard worker who gives 100% to every lesson and assignment. She comes in regularly outside of class to clarify material and she studies it until she truly masters it. Cathay makes it clear that she is not simply striving for good grades; rather, she is striving for understanding. Cathay would make an excellent physicist if she chooses this path but, more importantly, she is a positive leader and role model at D’Evelyn in and outside of the classroom. Cathay was nominated by Coach McKellips.

Whether it’s the sprint 50 Free, distance 500, or the difficult 100 Fly, she has proved that she can do it all.. More so, she has been an integral member of the team’s relay successes, having become a key member of the 200 Medley and Freestyle relays this season. This is a testament to her increased off season efforts in the pool, which helped her swim faster, stronger, and more focused throughout the year. A great leader in and out of the pool, Katie has displayed phenomenal effort and dedication to the sport this season. She is a role to the younger swimmers, gives it her all at every practice, and consistently leads by example. We are excited to see what she can do at League and State over the next two weeks! Congratulations Kati! Kati was nominated by Coach Mullarkey

For families that have not yet completed the survey, you now have the opportunity to complete the survey on behalf of each of your students currently enrolled at D’Evelyn.
