Congratulations, Avery!

Marple Friends & Neighbors, November 2026

This month, we are proud to recognize Avery Natale, a freshman at The Episcopal Academy, as our Casey’s Student of the Month! Avery is already making the most of her high school experience through her dedication to academics, involvement in extracurricular activities and love of helping others.

Athletics play an important role in Avery’s life. She participates in both field hockey and softball, including playing on a tournament team with Combat FastPitch. Her passion for softball continues to motivate her, and she hopes to play at the college level in the future.

Avery has also demonstrated a strong commitment to academic achievement. During her time at Paxon Hollow Middle School, she earned Honor Roll and Distinguished Honor Roll recognition for three consecutive years and was involved in Student Council. Now at Episcopal Academy, Avery joined Key Club, Coloring Club and Around the World Club, allowing her to explore her interests while staying connected to her school community.

Giving back and helping others are also important to Avery. She has served as a Counselor in Training at summer camp, gaining valuable experience working with younger campers. She also regularly babysits and pet-sits for neighborhood families, demonstrating her dependability and willingness to lend a hand when needed.

With her strong academic foundation, enthusiasm for sports and commitment to her community, Avery is off to a wonderful start in high school. We look forward to seeing all she accomplishes as she continues to grow and takes on new challenges. Congratulations, Avery, on being recognized as our Student of the Month!
