More children do the right things

I don't think that we've had one of these posts for a while.   Sixty students from five elementary schools were recently singled out for being "portraits of true optimism in their classroom, homes and communities."  Most impressive, more than four hundred people turned out to see the Roseville Optimist Club in Macomb County, Michigan celebrate those children in an awards ceremony at the middle school.

Roseville Public Schools Superintendent John Kment said, "The good things kids are doing strongly outweigh the bad and it's refreshing to know that the Roseville Optimist Club supports our students and recognizes the positive they do in the classroom."

 

There are many negative influences on our childrent today.  Many Optimist Clubs try to reverse that negativity by performing at least one youth appreciation project each year.  I really enjoy the ones like this one - the ones that recognize children just for doing the right thing and being good kids.  Thank you.
