NATIONAL RENAISSANCE STUDENT OF THE MONTH: APRIL – KIRSTEN EVANS

This month’s National Renaissance Student of the Month is Kirsten Evans from Ottawa High School in Ottawa, KS. Her nominator Jennifer Kane writes, “Kirsten is a sophomore on our Renaissance Core Council. She has worked tirelessly to try to help change climate and culture at OHS and has gone above and beyond as we continue to seek to make OHS a true Renaissance school. Kirsten led the charge to create a PowerPoint and present to our school board to gain approval to take a group of students to JRNC this summer. She is regularly coming up with new ideas to try and gives of her time to make OHS a great place for all students. On our recent Staffulty Work Day, Kirsten came in with a few other Renaissance Core Council members to change out our March birthday bulletin board.”
