In an in-person meeting, the Rotary Club of Everett on October 18, 2022 honored three local high school students as Rotary Students of the Month.

Each month during the school year the club recognizes outstanding high school students in the city of Everett for their accomplishments and their promise.

 

Student of the Month from Sequoia High is Morgan Gidney, who balances school, work and being a wonderful mom. One teacher says, "Morgan is an incredibly driven student whose strength is how much time she puts into her work to not only learn it but understand it. She is proactive, passionate and willing to help anyone at any time." After graduation Morgan plans to attend Everett Community College and work on a pediatric nursing degree. In her spare time she enjoys swimming, roller-skating, lots of time with daughter Emery and traveling to see friends.

 

 

Everett High Student of the Month is Aniyah Sterling. One staff member said “From the moment I met Aniyah as a freshman, I knew she was going to make a difference, have an impact and leave an incredible mark at EHS. She is fierce. She is smart and most importantly she is kind. I am honored to know her.” Another said, “She is going to keep changing the world, as defending justice and fairness resides deep in Aniyah’s heart.“ “Aniyah is without a doubt one of the strongest humans I have ever met,” said another teacher. “She fights for what is right, even when no one is looking.”

 

Cascade High Student of the Month is Jessica Finicle, a three-year letter winner in volleyball and captain this year. She is also a varsity basketball player and member of the varsity track team. Jessica works just as hard in the classroom, taking AP classes, honors classes, college in the high school classes and serving as a peer tutor for Spanish. Jessica participated in ASB leadership as a junior and senior class officer, helped organize numerous school events, volunteered 150 hours teaching Sunday school, and handed out food and clothes to the homeless during the winter.
