The February Toscana Student of the Month is Ethan Staurowsky, a Senior at Marple Newtown High School. Ethan received a Certificate of Achievement and a Gift Certificate from Toscana Modern Italian Steakhouse, our Sponsor of this program.
Ethan is a true sports enthusiast, and track has always been his sport. Since he was first introduced to running track and field in middle school, Ethan has loved being on the team. Whether it’s cross country, indoor track, hurdles, long jumps, sprints, fall, winter or spring track, you know you can find Ethan giving it his all. And now, Ethan is also one of the team captains too!
Academically, Ethan is a member of the National Honor Society, and takes his school classes as seriously as he does track. He’s hoping to go to Ursinus College in the fall, and use his track and field talents there at the college level. He is looking to major in Applied Economics in Ursinus College’s excellent business department.
However, one thing that Ethan is best known for is the work that he does every year on Marple Newtown’s 4th of July Committee and Parade. Since he was a young boy, Ethan would accompany his mom to the committee meetings and offer to help in any way he could. There were always plenty of things that he could assist with, a list which seemed to grow as Ethan did. In fact, these days he handles one of the most important jobs there is in the 4th of July Parade: He is Uncle Sam! He truly enjoys playing the role and having all the kids want to have their pictures taken with him.
Ethan, your Marple Newtown Friends & Neighbors congratulate you on this award, and thank you for your service. We congratulate you on this award, and wish you well in all your future endeavors!
