Kelsey Dalen, senior and daughter of Dewey and Kimberly Dalen, has been chosen as Kiwanis Humanitarian Student of the Month.

She has a 4.0 GPA and is part of concert band, jazz band and pep band, as well as theater, NHS, the silver chord program and tumbling. She says that through these activities she has learned how to individually get better, but also how to help the group get better.

Dalen enjoys giving back to her community. She volunteers at her church, camp invention and frequently at Meals for the Heartland.

She is planning on going to Wartburg College and getting an english degree with a possible minor in art. In high school, Dalen’s favorite classes include art class, band and english. She says she enjoys these classes because they are fun and relaxing. “I’ve always liked to read,” Kelsey said.  Dalen believes that to get far in life and school, you need to stay on top of your work and be a kind person.

Dalen plans to continue volunteering in the future. She is happy to know that the time she has already put into volunteering has been recognized.

To honor Dalen’s hard work, Kiwanis of Adel have donated $50 to the ADM scholarship fund.
