Summersville Elementary librarian, Sandra Byse, and the rest of the staff would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who came to the book fair, helped out, or for sending money with your children. Our first book fair in seven years was a HUGE success. Proceeds from the book fair will be used to purchase new books for our library. Our community may be small, but through the support and commitment given to our school, great things can occur. Thank you for all your support!

Devon Riley Kaut is the son of Scott and Amy Kaut and Brad and Dorothy King. He is the grandson of Ronnie and Carol King and Junior and Charlotte King. Devon has one brother, Delray.

Kaut has attended Summersville Schools for 13 years.

Devon’s hobbies are backroading, fishing, and hanging out in town.

"Waking up in time to make it to school" is the biggest challenge Kaut has faced in his life, so far.

After graduation, Devon plans to get a job on the river boats.

He is a member of FFA, FCCLA, drama club and plays baseball.

In school, Mrs. Faye Kyle and Mrs. Julie Craig are credited with having the most influence in his life. "My mother and brother" have had the most influence, out of school.

"It’s not the one with the fastest car, it’s the one that refuses to lose," is Devon’s favorite quote.

The one thing, Kaut wants to do in his lifetime is to make money to be able to live his life happy.

In ten years, Devon sees himself as captain on a river boat and happily married with three children.
