The Rotary Club of Duvall honored Britney and Bethany Carlson as December and January’s Cedarcrest Student of the Month at their January 25th meeting. The honorees were recognized together because they are the twin daughters of Eric and Kelly Carlson of Lake Marcel, Carnation.

Both girls have proven themselves through academics, sports and community. Both maintain a 4.0 grade point average and are active in volleyball. This year, both girls helped lead their team to a Cascade League title, a second place finish in the Northwest 3A tournament and an eight place finish at the Washington State 3A fall tournament.

Cedarcrest head volleyball coach Christine Hillestad appreciates Britney’s drive and determination and says that the team has a huge amount of respect and admiration for her. As team captain, Britney knows how to get the job done when the game is on the line.

Hillestad says that Bethany has a wonderful amount of focus and energy that has allowed her to develop into a strong volleyball player. Bethany constantly looks for ways to improve her game and also takes the time to help her teammates improve by providing positive feedback.

Both girls are active in the National Honor Society, youth sports camps and Vacation Bible School.

The Rotary Club of Duvall is proud to honor youth in the community as well as participate in local and international service projects.
