Optimist Club helps students be the best they can be

The St. Andrews Optimist Club in South Carolina brings the business community together with Irmo High School students for the All You Can Be Awards Program. This year 77 students were recognized for classroom participation, adherence to school rules, improved grades and all-around leadership.

The St. Andrews Optimist Club receives nominations from teachers for their All You Can Be program. According to club president Ken Lowden, it's one of the finest examples he's seen of how Optimists bring out the best in kids.

Read all about the program in the Faces of Optimism Newsletter.
