The Avon Grove Lions Senior Student of the Month from the Avon Grove Charter School is Addison Shallis. 

Shallis is a strong student and active National Honors Society member. She is passionate about caring for animals and spends her free time helping them. For the past two years, she has partnered with Lucky Dawg Animal Rescue to foster animals, saving more than 70 cats from all kinds of situations. She takes care of the cats until they get adopted and go to their forever homes. Shallis doesn't shy away from caring for the most difficult cats with all kinds of needs. At Avon Grove Charter School, she has helped with food drives, she has cleaned up around the school, and worked on the annual blood drive. Shallis hopes to become a veterinary technician continuing to work with the animals she loves.
