4.C. Employee of the Month
4.D. Athlete of the Month - Emma Donelan
Rationale

Senior Emma Donelan has pushed herself for the past six seasons to become a better defender and rightfully secures the first base position.  It is hard to find any other player on the field during practice or a game that works harder than Emma.  Defensively she is a vacuum and often saves her teammates from receiving throwing errors because she digs the ball from the dirt better than any other first baseman in the area.  Emma has also dedicated herself to become one of the Devils leading batters with a current batting average of .500.  Emma will be leaving the Devils to pursue a college degree at Morehead State University next year.  Her teammates and coaching staff wish her the best of luck and know that she will be successful in whatever she decides to pursue in life. 

4.E. Artist of the Month - Owen Overman
Rationale

Owen is always on time, tries to help other students, and ALWAYS stops by after school to grab his flute every day to practice. Owen is a leader for our 7th grade band, and we are very excited for his future!
