COMMUNITY SERVICE STUDENTS REWARDED FOR THEIR DEDICATION

Three ETHS students who have worked to make Evanston a better community were honored by the Kiwanis Club of Evanston recently. The three were introduced by Mary Collins, ETHS Community Service Coordinator. They include Alethea Hatfield-Goodnight, a senior, Danielle Reiser, also a senior and Jasper Davidoff, a junior.

Alethea Hatfield-Goodnight has amassed over 1200 hours as a volunteer for Family Focus. This past summer she worked at the organization from 7 a.m. ‘til 7 p.m. daily. Instructing, building confidence and as an astute listener, Alethea built strong relationship with children from 2nd to 8th grade. Danielle and Jasper worked on the Publicity Club and put together a plan to encourage eligible students to register to vote. Their combined efforts resulted in 250 registrations! Danielle also worked with the UNICEF/Trick or Treat program while Jasper is a member of the ETHS Marching Band.

The Kiwanis Club recognizes outstanding Scholar/Athletes, Community Scholars and students involved in the Fine Arts during the school year. Both students and Kiwanis members have benefitted from learning about each other’s goals. The awards are named after the late Ted VanZelst, an Evanston businessman, humanitarian and art collector. Each student receives a certificate of recognition, a book on leadership and a $25 gift certificate to Barnes & Noble.
