MARCH Citizen of the MonthFor Rotary Student of the Month, the 7th grade team has selected someone who quietly goes about doing everything right. Hardworking, kind and conscientious, she always puts forth her very best effort. Rarely does a minute go by that she isn’t taking care of her responsibilities or helping others. She participates in chorus and dance, and she volunteers to help regularly in a fifth grade classroom. In addition to being a wonderful human being, she possesses a natural curiosity and a love for learning. Helpful to others, committed to her education, and steady in her vision for our school and our community, the seventh grade team is proud to honor Tehya Moore as Rotary Student of the Month for March. Congratulations Tehya... keep up the great dedication to school and community! |
