Rotary Club recognizes student achievement

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Street STEM Magnet School Principal Joe Kniseley presented two Students of the Month to the Rotary Club of Fallbrook at a recent weekly luncheon.

Emily Bautista, fifth grade, shared how she is changing the world for the better once she learned about how animals are affected by trash and pollution. She demonstrates leadership by recruiting friends and creating a slide presentation that was shared with teachers and their students about how to make the world a cleaner place starting with their school. The result is that many students are picking up trash during their lunch and recess in order to help have a clean campus and change the world.

Jose Manuel, sixth grade, shared how everyday he arrives early to school to help the custodian. He demonstrates leadership and takes care of his school. He wakes up early, walks to school and helps to inflate the yard balls, to take the ball carts where they need to be, to pick up jackets and trash and also to check the campus, making sure everything looks good.

The Student of the Month program is part of an ongoing effort by the Rotary Club of Fallbrook to encourage and reward student excellence and achievement. For more information, see www.fallbrookrotary.org.
