The October Casey’s Public House Student of the Month is Maya Lin, who is a Junior/Senior (Maya took Freshman courses in her 8th-grade year, so she is allowed to graduate a year early, making her a part of the classof 2024) at The Grayson School. She also received a Certificate of Achievement and a $25 gift card from Casey’s Public House, our Sponsor of this program.
As part of the Grayson School’s VEX Robotics Team (and the team manager for three years), Maya’s team qualified for the Pennsylvania State competition, placing 20th out of a field of over 70 teams. She also qualified and went to the PA State competition for her National History Day documentary, which placed first in group documentaries regionally.
Maya was the Student Body Secretary last year and is the President now, along with being a member of the Model United Nations, Griffins and Grifflings Buddy Club and the GPA Liaisons Service Committee. Maya was accepted to the the Student Conservation Association (SCA) to work in PA State parks this past summer, which included rebuilding, painting and improving an old bridge, planting 40+ trees and weeding/mulching outdoor recreational areas.
Maya loves art and has been a stage manager for her school’s musical productions, helping build sets, as well as doing graphic design, short animation, and digital artwork on her own. She also works part-time at Lifetime Fitness, and looks forward to getting her MBA after majoring in Environmental Science for undergrad. You’re an amazing young lady Maya – thank you for sharing your triumphs with us!
