The April Casey’s Student of the Month is Kylie Ebbecke, a dedicated and hard-working 10th-grade student at Villa Maria Academy. Kylie has been recognized for her outstanding commitment to academics, extracurricular activities and community service. As a recipient of this honor, she has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement, along with a Gift Card from Casey’s Public House, the generous Sponsor of this award.
Kylie is an ambassador for the National Dance Foundation, an organization that promotes kindness, inclusion and a sense of community through the art of dance. Her passion for dance extends beyond her ambassadorship, as she is also an active member of her school’s dance company, where she hones her skills and performs with her peers. Additionally, Kylie holds a leadership role as a Student Broadcasting Club Executive, contributing to her school’s media and communication efforts. She also serves as a Mission and Ministry Representative, further demonstrating her commitment to service and faith-based initiatives. As a Villa Maria Scholar, Kylie excels academically and takes on a challenging curriculum that includes STEM-based courses in mathematics, science and computer programming.
Beyond her school involvement, Kylie dedicates significant time to volunteer work, both within her school community and at Paoli Presbyterian Church. She has accumulated over 70 hours of service through various projects and initiatives that benefit those in need. One of her most meaningful upcoming endeavors is hosting a unified dance class in April for children with Down syndrome and Autism. This initiative, part of her Scholars’ Passion Project, will provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for children of all abilities to experience the joy of dance.
Kylie’s dedication to academics, leadership, and service makes her a shining example of what it means to be a well-rounded student. Congratulations, Kylie!
