The September Casey’s Student of the Month is Nick D’Ambrosio, who is an 11th grader at Marple Newtown High School (MNHS) and received a certificate of Achievement, along with a Gift Card from Casey’s Public House, the Sponsor of this program.
Nick is the Junior Class President of the Student Council and an integral member of the Mini-Thon Planning Committee, tirelessly organizing events to raise funds for pediatric cancer research. He volunteers with Best Buddies, fostering friendships and inclusion among students, and strums away in the Guitar Club, where his musical talent shines through.
Outside of school, Nick serves on the Delco Park Planning Committee, advocating for teen and green spaces in the community, and is a driven Campaign intern for Kay Dugery. Also, as a competitive dancer at Touch of Class Studio, Nick was honored as one of the Top 25 Male Dancers at Dance Awards Nationals in 2024.
Recognized by the National Honor Society and the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce Youth Award 2024, Nick embodies excellence both inside and outside the classroom. His stint on Nickelodeon’s ‘Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader’ showcased his versatility, proving that intellect and talent go hand in hand.
Nick is eagerly anticipating getting his driver’s license, and is already eyeing colleges and exploring scholarship opportunities. With aspirations in engineering and law, Nick is determined to carve his path toward a future where innovation and advocacy intersect. Nick’s journey is a testament to the power of dedication and the boundless potential of youth. There’s no doubt that Nick is destined to leave an indelible mark wherever his passions lead him.
