I like simple stories of how Optimist Clubs honor and recognize the youths in our communities and knew I had to share this quick note with you that I received from the Optimist Club of Salem, Oregon.
The Salem Optimist Club has been working with the schools in their community to honor students for different reasons: community service, perfect attendance, attitude, grades, special honors the students have received at school and now for most improved in grades, attitude and involvement. Great job everyone!
The note from the Salem Optimist Club follows:
The Optmists awards this week were for students who have made great improvements in their grades and attitude toward school over the years and one student was honored for involvement in the community.
Students honored were Joseph Cromwell - Most Involved in Community Affairs - Chemawa Indian School
Joseph Lenoir - Most Improved in Academics - Chemawa Indian School
With Frank Milton two students from North Salem both as Most Improved in Academics - Diana Mendoza and Darrick Utley
With Wes from Sprague as Most Improved in Academics - Simone Antkowiak
