Congratulations to the Heart of D’Evelyn winners for the month of November. 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. Tonya Singleton, 7th Grade “Tonya embodies the "Heart of D'Evelyn" spirit with her kind, gracious, humble nature. Tonya speaks sweetly to other students and demonstrates role-model behavior in class. She is a faithful student reading, annotating, writing, and studying to the best of her ability. I am so grateful to have Tonya as a student-- she inspires me to be a better person!” -Ms. Ford, English Teacher 
Cadlyn Hart, 9th Grade
“Cadlyn is an exemplary student. Her focus and determination in class are surpassed only by her positivity and kindness.

Her cheeriness every day makes my day ... 1st period Latin II is lucky to have her!” -Ms. Bowman, Latin Teacher

Congratulations to the Activities Member of the Month winners for the month of November. 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. Bethany Cook, 12th Grade “I would nominate Bethany Cook for NHS Activities Member of the Month. Bethany has been in NHS for both her junior and senior year and is currently serving as the NHS secretary. I appreciate that Bethany is always willing to step in and help when one of her fellow officers can't attend and she always volunteers for our events with a smile on her face. She is a great addition to the leadership team and I appreciate her hard work.” -Mrs. Bender, Spanish Teacher and NHS Sponsor 
Reilly Harrington, 11th Grade
“This is Reilly's second year on the Forensics Team. She has done both Speech and Debate successfully. Last year, she went to the State Tournament in Congressional Debate. This year she has begun competing in Informative Speaking, earning a ribbon at the Eaglecrest Tournament with her speech about the Matilda Effect where men ignore the contributions of women to the STEM fields. She also used her speaking skills to work with a graduate student to create a program emphasizing positive attitudes toward taking care of mental health issues for high school students.” -Ms. Peters, Forensics Coach

Congratulations to the Athlete of the Month winners for the month of November. 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. Clayton Gustafson, 11th Grade “Clayton had an incredible year for his team and program. He was a first-year varsity player that made his way into the starting lineup in a completely different position than what he normally had played in his prior years at D'Evelyn. When told of the change in the position he grasped it with both hands and ran with it and learned all of the specifics and tactics that were associated with it. Clayton continually faced adversity all season long with an open mind and willingness to succeed which saw him switch again to a central role in the defense and the leadership of our backline. The adversity showed up when Clayton fractured his leg partway through our season but he still showed up to training and games every day to help lead and coach his backline teammates and be there to help answer questions. His approach in terms of leadership with his peers was always the highest quality and exceptional honesty. Clayton's most enduring trait is his desire to always be at his best whether it’s on or off the field in everything he does. He’s for sure a shining example of what a successful student-athlete at D’Evelyn should look and sound like. Congrats Clayton on an incredible season!” -Coach Moline, Head Boys Soccer Coach 
Sambo Heng, 11th Grade
“Sambo has really turned things around. His focus in the classroom is light years ahead of where it was in the past. Despite missing the first 3 games with a broken wrist, Sambo was at every practice during his injury and even helped us as an assistant coach during that time. Once Sambo was able to get back on the field he became a ball of dynamite play in and play out. Sambo is starting to become an all-around student-athlete and continues to become an even better person.” -Coach Rankin, Head Football Coach

Robotics Team News
By: Chris Vollmer, Computer Science Instructor & Robotics Sponsor On Saturday, November 12th, the D'Evelyn Robotics Team competed in the BEST Robotics competition held at Englewood High School. The team, consisting of Luke Battagline, Lilly Battagline, Audrey Hagan, P.J. Vu, Grayson Neptune, and Glenn Spofford, was awarded a trophy and medals for their third-place finish. BEST which stands for Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology is a national organization that sponsors regional robotics competitions. All teams are provided with the materials needed to build a robot. They are given eight weeks to design, build, program, and test the robot. During the competition, teams earn points by controlling the robot to perform specific tasks. This year's team battled through some initial challenges during the first round. The drivers and robot performed splendidly and proved to be stiff competition for bigger schools that spend much time working on their robots during the school day. Congratulations to the 2022 D'Evelyn Robotics team.
