POLAND — The Mechanic Falls, Minot and Poland Tri-Town Optimist Club is proud to announce its April RSU 16 Student of the Month recipient, Evan Kelly, a senior from Poland Regional High School.

Evan has always demonstrated the school’s core values of character, citizenship, and community, but truly stepped up in the face of Covid. After connecting with his pastor, he served community members who were unable to leave their home, by delivering groceries and helping in any way he could. At school, Evan has maintained the high academic engagement and performance that earned him membership in the National Honor Society as a junior. He has also continued to contribute on the field in football, basketball, and outdoor track. Congratulations Evan!
