We’re pleased to announce that the January Casey’s Student of the Month is Mikayla Mitchell, who is a Freshman at Marple Newtown High School (MNHS). Mikayla has been honored with a Certificate of Achievement and a Gift Card from Casey’s Public House, the Sponsor of this award for her outstanding service to school and community.
Mikayla demonstrates excellence in service in the MNHS community in many ways. As is true of her proactive nature, Mikayla joined the Student Council at the beginning of Freshman year! She also enjoys being part of the Best Buddies program and has been thrilled to be a member of Marple Civic Youth, taking part in their numerous outreach programs in the school and community.
Her favorite school subject is History, and when Mikayla envisions her future, she sees herself going to either Penn State or the University of Michigan, pursuing a degree in either nursing or sports marketing. When she’s not engaging in her many school activities, Mikayla works at Kids First Swim School in the Lawrence Park Shopping Center.
Casey’s and Friends & Neighbors magazines are delighted to recognize such a bright, dedicated and community-minded student. Congratulations Mikayla, on your many accomplishments, and for being such an outstanding role model for so many! We see great things ahead for you.
