Take Stock In Children- Santa Rosa County

Congratulations to our Gulf Breeze High School senior, Nevaeh Feuerbacher, who has earned her AA degree from Pensacola State College along with her high school diploma. We are so proud of your accomplishment!

We are celebrating our Seniors on this National College Decision Day! Congratulations to our Class of 2023!

Congratulations, Alexa, on being named our Santa Rosa Take Stock in Children Outstanding Senior! We can’t wait to see what your future holds!

Alexa Valovic is our 2023 Take Stock Outstanding Senior from Take Stock In Children- Santa Rosa County! The Navarre High School senior is headed to the University of Florida in the fall to study Chemistry. Alexa’s drive and insatiable thirst for learning shine through her community service, and she hopes to improve the world around her.

This Outstanding Senior’s school activities and Community Service projects include the National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, GSA Club, NWFL Regional Science Fair, Interclub Council, HOPE Squad, Science Olympiad, BEST Robotics, and Sea Perch.

For Alexa, her outlook on her future is very bright. “I am working towards a degree in Chemistry, intending to work in a laboratory to conduct research and work towards implementing solutions to food scarcity and sustainable agriculture.

In 20 years, I see myself gaining my Ph.D., which took large amounts of hard work, though it never became a limiting factor for my future partner and children. Traveling will become a frequent hobby as I desire to see all parts of our world. Overall, I believe at 38 years old, small moments and big moments shaped the way for my success in all aspects of my life.”

Alexa shared with us her biggest lesson learned from her mentor. “My Take Stock mentor has taught me to take in every moment. As I’ve shared many conversations with her over the last seven years, I learned the importance of reflecting on past experiences and our day-to-day lives. School often takes a large section of our talks, but analyzing the content in my classes gives a deeper understanding of it. We bond over travel, and exchanging what we did on our trips gives us knowledge of places we have never heard of. Breaking our experiences down allows us to live life to the fullest.”

What wise words from an outstanding Take Stock scholar! Congratulations, Alexa!

As we wrapped up National Mentoring Month, we celebrated our mentors at the First Annual Mentor Appreciation Reception to show them how much they are appreciated! We want to thank one of our mentors, Sharon Combee, for helping to arrange this event. We also thank our guest speaker, Merrie Weekley, who is a TSIC graduate-turned-mentor for providing insight as a mentor and a former mentee. It was a success!
All of our mentors mean so much to us, and we are so thankful for all of them. If you would like to join our mentor family, visit us a
