Rotary recognizes elementary Students of the Month

FALLBROOK – La Paloma Elementary School Principal Julie Schlueter presented two Student of the Month awards at a Rotary Club of Fallbrook luncheon in December to fourth-grade students Isabella Mowry and Roco Burley.

Mowry shared how she serves her school as a Safe School Ambassador, encouraging and supporting fellow students to work together and to have fun during recess and lunch breaks. She said she used the one of the school's seven habits "to synergize" by going up to a boy who sat alone, learning more about him and helping him feel more a part of the school.

Burley shared how everyday he uses all the seven habits but especially "beginning with the end in mind." He initiated a conversation with a new student, hoping to help him feel included. The end result was that they have become best friends.

The Student of the Month program is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Fallbrook to encourage and reward student excellence and achievement. For more information, visit http://www.fallbrookrotary.org.
