B&E Sportswear Student of The Month- Rebecca Kennedy
Rebecca Kennedy: December, 2018, Student of the Month
by Craig Whitney
Rebbecca Kennedy, 8th Grader at St. Anastasia School in Newtown Square, PA, the December, 2018 B&E Sportswear Student of The Month.
Rebecca Kennedy has been chosen by B&E Sportswear as our Student of the Month. She has been a shining example of leadership, creativity, and enthusiasm. As part of the recognition, Rebecca will be awarded a $100 gift card from Wawa courtesy of B&E Sportswear.
Rebecca is currently in 8th grade at St. Anastasia School, having attended for 9 years, and was elected vice president of the student body for her final year. As a member of the student council, she has done many service projects for the community, such as raking leaves for those who are unable, giving cookies to first responders, and delivering flowers from the church to those who cannot leave their homes.
In addition to her acts of service, Rebecca also pursues the arts at St. Anastasia. Rebecca has been a part of Reading Olympics since fourth grade, and has pursued singing and acting since joining the handbells choir in third grade and vocal choir in fourth. She has been in multiple plays, most recently as a lead role.
“Saint Anastasia continues to be a huge support of the arts in my life,” Rebecca said. “The Saint Anastasia teachers and my friends encourage me to write and pursue my dreams.”
Something that has remained consistent in Rebecca’s time at St. Anastasia’s is her excitement to explore new things. Not everything will become a personal passion like her time in the theater, but everything is a test of ambition and determination in which she has consistently excelled.
“Thank you for contacting my family about my nomination for B&E Sportswear Student of the Month, and thank you for offering this opportunity to our community,” Rebecca exclaimed.
Rebecca, winner of the Student of the Month award and $100 Gift Card with Bill McDevitt, owner of B & E Sportswear.
“It is quite an honor to know someone thought enough of me to submit my name for this award.”
Everyone at Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors sends congratulations to Rebecca for this recognition, and wish her good luck as she represents her class in the final year at St. Anastasia.
