Congratulations to Kelsey Racine! March Sproul Lanes Student of the Month
by Liz Burnett
We’re pleased to announce that the March Sproul Lanes Student of the Month is Marple Newtown High School Sophomore Kelsey Racine! To celebrate this recognition, Kelsey received a Certificate of Achievement and a gift certificate for a “Pizza Bowl” party from Sproul Lanes, our Sponsor of this award program.
Kelsey has actively served several local communities. Last spring, she was 1 of 40 teens selected to attend a 3-day leadership camp that developed her communication and relationship skills, and taught her to “live life to the fullest, take risks, and to break out of [her] comfort zone.” Last summer, she served as a counselor at Newtown Square Presbyterian Church’s week-long Bible day camp. And Kelsey has recently been volunteering as a member of the Decorating Committee for her school’s Mini-THON, an annual dance event that helps raise awareness and funds to conquer childhood cancer.

She’s now a pitcher on MN’s Varsity softball team and on the Pegasus 16U travel team, where she also plays 3rd and 1st bases.
