The February Casey’s Public House Student of the Month is Jared Kaplan, a Senior at Marple Newtown High School (MNHS), who received a Certificate of Achievement and a $25 gift card from Casey’s Public House, our Sponsor of this program.
Jared’s vast array of accomplishments and activities make it obvious as to why he is our Student of the Month this month. He has been on the Honor Roll every marking period dating back to the 7th grade, and he is a two time winner of the Positive on People Award. As the President of the National English Honor Society, as well as a member of both the Science and Social Studies National Honor Societies, Jared takes his academics and affiliations very seriously.
Jared is also a Student Council Representative, a Renaissance Program Leader (which encourages its members to get involved, keep their grades up and maintain good attendance), a committee member of Feeding Fellow Americans and the Head of the Donor and Alumni Relations Committee for the ‘For the Kids’ (FTK) organization, which raises money to combat childhood cancer.
At the same time, Jared enjoys plenty of other extracurricular activities including being the Captain of the Varsity Tennis team for two years, playing Varsity Soccer and acting as the Team Representative for the Tiger Athletic Leadership Council. Since the age of 10, Jared has also been an active member of the Marple Newtown Basketball Association. He’s also very environmentally minded, volunteering for the Darby Creek Valley Association’s environmental cleanup efforts.
Along with all of his academic, athletic and volunteer efforts, Jared also works as Floor Manager at Jumpers Family Fun Zone, where he’s known for his kind and friendly manner with everyone he meets. He will be heading to college in September, where he hopes to continue his forward path to even greater accomplishments and accolades. You are a rising star Jared, and your Marple Newtown Friends & Neighbors wish you well in all of your future endeavors.
