By: Eric McCaslin-Hahn, Assistant Principal, Athletics and Activities Director Congratulations to the Scholar of the Month winners for the month of January. They were chosen by the Electives Department. John Emerson - 8th grade I would like to recognize 8th grader John Emerson for Student of the Month for PE. This is my 2nd semester having John this year and he is always willing to help with anything that is needed and always does what is asked of him. He is a good sport and team player that always puts forth effort every day in class. John has a positive attitude and is a pleasure to have in class.” - Ms. Battaglia, Physical Education Teacher Chelyn Kwon - 6th grade Chelyn is consistently prepared for orchestra rehearsal. She is the sitting principal violinist of our Advanced High School Orchestra and a 7th-grade student. She has been recognized as an accomplished young musician at the District, State, and National levels. Recently, she performed with the Jeffco Honors Orchestra and is currently working on repertoire for a solo competition. She is always looking for opportunities to perform outside the classroom expectation. She is an outstanding and humble musician and is a model student for her peers. - Dr. Theis, Instrumental Music Teacher Austeja Buzenaite - 10th grade Austeja is a determined and motivated drawing student. She makes an effort to exceed the required expectations for assignments, going above and beyond to create amazing works of art. Austeja spends extra time in seventh hour to make her ideas come to fruition. She is also very thorough in reflecting on and communicating about her finished work. She is a great example to her peers in the Art Studio classroom. - Mr. Anneberg, Art Teacher Ryan Clark - 11th grade Ryan is being recognized for helping to create a positive learning environment. He does this through his willingness to share his knowledge during class discussions, consistently working hard to better understand difficult concepts and assist his classmates in doing the same. Ryan's strong work ethic, positive attitude, and attention to detail will assist in his continual success. It is a pleasure to have him in class. - Mr. Vollmer, Computer Teacher By: Eric McCaslin-Hahn, Assistant Principal, Athletics and Activities Director Please join us in congratulating the January Teacher of the Month, Lori Aguiar.

Congratulations Lori! Thank you for being such a valuable member of our community! By: Eric McCaslin-Hahn, Assistant Principal, Athletics and Activities Director Congratulations to the Athlete of the Month winners for the month of January. These winners were chosen by their coaches based on their leadership qualities, work ethic, and other traits that represent what D’Evelyn wants to see in all of their Student-Athletes. They were chosen out of all the Student-Athletes at D’Evelyn. Rebecca Taylor - 12th Grade Rebecca is having a great start to her senior season! At the halfway point of the session, she is averaging a career-best 10.5 points per game and adding 4.3 assists, 4.1 steals, and 1.8 rebounds per game. More than stats, she plays with a basketball IQ that is unmatched in the girl's game. Her court vision and anticipation on defense make her an invaluable player. On and off the floor, she is the unquestioned leader on our team; unanimously voted captain by her teammates. She also looks for ways to involve the younger players in our program and wants to include everyone. Always a “team first” leader, Rebecca has helped guide her team to an undefeated 13-0 overall record, the best start in school history! Her team also won championships at Mountain Vista/Rock Canyon, the Jeffco Jungle Jam, and the Palisade Winter Classic tournaments. We wouldn’t be the same team without her on-court play and her off-court personality. Thanks for all you do, Rebecca! Congrats! -Coach Olson, Head Girls Basketball Coach Ava Anderson - 12th Grade When Ava Anderson dives into the water, she is a game changer in a race for the AquaJags. As a senior, she is versatile in every stroke and distance, having qualified for 3A State in every individual swim event in which she has competed from the 50 Freestyle to the 500 Freestyle to the 200 Individual Medley. As the high-point leader on our team, she is a pivotal anchor leg on our highest-ranking relay that currently stands in 3rd for 3A schools. Her leadership does not stop at the pool edge. She models for the rest of the team how to constructively evaluate her races and adopt the changes needed in training. Her perseverance, calm but positive attitude and drive will ensure her future success both in and out of the pool. -Coach Carpenter, Head Girls Swim & Dive Coach By: Eric McCaslin-Hahn, Assistant Principal, Athletics and Activities Director Congratulations to the Heart of D’Evelyn winners for the month of January. The Heart of D’Evelyn Award is intended to recognize students who exemplify the core values that we find in D’Evelyn’s Founding Document. These core values are Responsibility, Honesty, Self-Control, Kindness, and Fairness. These winners were chosen by their teachers based on their actions and behaviors in class, the lunchroom, and the hallways. Sebastian Kung - 8th Grade Sebastian is always responsible and looking to improve. He is an excellent student, but he's applying himself to improving still more, particularly in applying himself to his writing. He also is unflappable in his consistent participation in class - no matter what, he is focused, responsible, and applying himself. -Mr. Beams, Social Studies Teacher Adelyln Volz - 9th Grade Adelyn has been a very kind and fun student to get to know in Art class. She takes her work seriously but also has fun while working. She is a good example to her peers as she dives into her artwork with enthusiasm, yet with good focus and determination to exceed the requirements of the Art task. -Mr. Anneberg, Art Teacher By: Eric McCaslin-Hahn, Assistant Principal, Athletics and Activities Director Congratulations to the Activities Member of the Month winners for the month of January. These winners were chosen by their Activities Sponsors based on their leadership qualities, work ethic, and other traits that represent what D’Evelyn wants to see in all of their Activities Members. They were chosen out of all the Activities Members that participate in outside-of-school events. Kaylee Kipp - 10th Grade The Activities Member of the Month award for Choral Music should go to Kaylee Kipp. Kaylee was selected to Jeffco Honor Choir and is an absolute rock star in Concert Choir. She is always on task, a great sight reader, and a rock star in the Alto section. In addition to her vocal abilities, Kaylee is a wonderfully positive and joyous person who lifts others up. She is showing high promise in her leadership skills and she is most deserving of this award. -Mr. White, Choral Music Director Diya Gupta - 10th Grade I would like to nominate Diya Gupta. She has been with the team for three years now and has always been a great student with our club. This year she has been a huge help as we have a lot of newer students participating and she is very quick to offer help to the new students, sharing her experiences and knowledge. She is also always very well prepared and excited, coming with a great attitude and excitement for the activities of our club. The coaches can count on her to help out when we need to, and her insight into the cases and legal analysis we have to do for mock trial is great. I will say, I wish I had more colleagues in my legal profession that had such a great work ethic as Diya has. -Mr. Andrews, Mock Trial Coach |
