Congratulations Again to Our Past Students of the Month!

by Liz Burnett

In September 2018, Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors magazine introduced a Student of the Month program, sponsored by Bill McDevitt, Owner of B&E Sportswear, to reward excellence among young people in grades 7-12 who attend any school within the Marple Newtown School District borders.

Bill McDevitt, Owner of B&E Sportswear and Inaugural Sponsor of the Student of the Month Program

We pause this month, to again congratulate past winners and to thank our Inaugural Sponsor for this program. Bill McDevitt’s vision was to acknowledge a Student of the Month for “Excellence” in any combination of service to the student’s school, classmates, church and/or other local communities. Academic performance, participation in athletics, school-sponsored clubs, and/or volunteering for service projects have been considered, and Bill’s vision was that excellence in any one area should be enough of a criteria for this award.

Do You Know the Next Student of the Month?

Students can nominate themselves. Parents and teachers can nominate a student deserving of this award, which is not based on academics alone. Which Student will represent YOUR school? Look for excellence in our young people, and we will find it!

Nominations for Student of the Month require only a 200-word email message explaining why a student’s Service AND Academics or Athletics deserves Student of the Month recognition. The winner will receive a gift from the program sponsor and be featured in next month’s Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors and Marple Friends & Neighbors magazines.
