Congratulations to Madison D'Ostuni who was chosen as the Rotary Student of the Month for March. Madi is an enthusiastic member of the senior class who has excelled in her Academics, Athletics, as well as in the many extra-curricular activities she participates in. Madi's guidance counselor, Ned Sullivan, describes Madi as "a bright and enthusiastic young woman with boundless energy." He states, "She is a "dynamo" and a natural leader by her hard-working example and has positively impacted our school culture in so many ways." Madi has taken many AP classes during her four years at Suffield High School, is an Honors student and is a member of the National Honor Society. She has earned "Advanced Placement Scholar" recognition. Madi is the first female member of our varsity wrestling team at Suffield High. She is an active member of the Science Fair Club and won state finalist recognition last year. Madi serves as the President of Student Senate and a class council member of the Class of 2017. She is the Editor of the yearbook, as well as a member of the Wildcat Advisory Group, A-Team, and our Interact Club. Along with all of these things Madi is a member of the Spirit Squad this year and also is a competitive dancer. In her spare time, Madi volunteers at the Second Chance Shop in Suffield, tutors students, and volunteers for an organization which supports at-risk families in the local area. Madison will be attending High Point University in North Carolina in the fall majoring in computer science. Congratulations to Madi for this well-deserved award.
Congratulations to Madison Fahle, our Rotary Student of the Month for April. Madison is a hard-working student who gives nothing but her best in all that she is a part of. She is a model of leadership for her class. Madison is driven, ambitious and passionate about her education, which is evident by the many awards she has received. Madison has been an honors student and has earned many awards such as the Philo T. Pritzkau Algebra I and Geometry Award, Excellence in Writing Award, Academic Excellence in English Award and Exemplary Academic Achievement Award. She has also been named a Scholar Athlete on the Varsity Swim Team and Varsity Lacrosse Team, as well as NCCC All-Conference for Lacrosse in 2016. This year, Madison was chosen as one of the Captains of the Lacrosse team. Madison is also active in many clubs and activities at Suffield High School, such as the Interact Club, Wildcat Advisory Group, Unified Basketball and the Best Buddies Club, of which she is the President this year. Madison finds time to volunteer at the Connecticut Children's Medical Center, has coached Lax Cats Youth Program and has been an Ironman Lake Placid Volunteer, to name a few. Madison plans to continue her education at Merrimack College majoring in athletic training.
