Rotary honors six Students of the Month
The Rotary Club of Everett honored six Students of the Month for February and March. Bad weather in February forced postponement of that month’s ceremonies.
Students were recognized for their accomplishments and their promise.
Cascade High School student Camryn Kloes has a passion for the environment and for special need students. She plans to study environmental science and special education at Western Washington University.
Cole Anderson is the voice of Cascade. His enthusiasm carries over as a cheerleader for the past three years and as a member of the leadership class this year. He too plans to attend Western.
Everett High School student Kimberly Placido is an AVID student and leader in the black student union and international student clubs who helped coordinate one of the best Martin Luther King Day assemblies to date.
Holly Kusler is Everett High’s ASB president. Holly plans to study English at Liberty University in Virginia and work as a teacher.
Sequoia High School student Fernanda Perez Vasquez carries a full load of classes each term, works every weekend and cares for her 2-year-old daughter. She plans to study medicine at Everett Community College and ultimately become a doctor.
In addition to school work, Sequoia student Justis Billsborough works many hours each week and enjoys drawing in his spare time.
Explorer orchestra invited to national festival
The advanced orchestra from Explorer Middle School was one of six middle schools from around the country invited to participate in the annual National Orchestra Festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in March. It was an opportunity for students to broaden their perspectives and world views and to grow in independence, confidence and social skills, said orchestra teacher Robin Enders.
Jodi Hiatt is Marysville’s newest Volunteer of the Month
Jodi Hiatt is the president and chief ambassador of the Marysville Strawberry Festival, where she has volunteered since 1999. As Maryfest’s current president, Hiatt is an ambassador for the city and attends dozens of summer festival events throughout Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, where she promotes Maryfest events and the Marysville community.
