The April Casey’s Public House Student of the Month is Rosha Fallahnejad, who is a Senior at Marple Newtown High School (MNHS), and also received a Certificate of Achievement and a $25 gift card from Casey’s Public House, our Sponsor of this program.
Rosha’s roots are Persian and she takes great pride in her heritage and culture. Throughout elementary school, Rosha participated in a weekend school where she learned fluent Farsi (a Persian language) and quite a bit of Iranian history. After she graduated from the program in 5th grade, she volunteered to help new students, as well as her teacher with ongoing lessons.
Academically, Rosha is very dedicated. She’s a member of multiple National Honors Societies, including English, world-language and Rho Kappa (history). She has also taken honors, AP and college courses while at MNHS.
Rosha has been on the varsity girl’s tennis team throughout her high school career, and in the doubles position during this last season, she was the captain of her team. She is the committee head of the Helping Paws Club, and she participated in volunteer programs through Jefferson Hospital, where she helped to organize a diabetes prevention program and research group.
After graduating this year, Rosha will attend Drexel University’s Honors College in the fall and will major in Health Sciences. She plans to continue her education beyond the undergraduate level, to find her passion within the healthcare field.
Rosha works at Luigi and Giovanni’s after school and in the summer, and she loves to travel and visit new places. We here at Friends & Neighbors magazines couldn’t be more impressed with all that you do Rosha. We are so thrilled to count you among our friends and neighbors!
