The Thiensville-Mequon Rotary Club honored our first Student of the Month, Jake Kallas, for the 2019-2020 school year. Jake is a senior at Homestead High School and is the son of Bonnie and Perry Kallas of Thiensville. He is an Eagle Scout, he has received the Merit Award all 3 years of high school, is a member of the National Honor Society, and a trumpet section leader for the Homestead Marching and Symphonic Band.
Jake has distinguished himself as someone who truly cares about giving back to his community. He has participated in several volunteer projects including Gathering on the Green, Family Fun Before the Fourth, and Lionsfest. Some of his most impactful projects include achieving his Eagle Scout Award. Jake’s projects included building planter boxes for Lasata as well as collecting toiletries for a homeless shelter in Milwaukee. Jake has also volunteered for the Riverwest Food Pantry Christmas gift program for the past 6 years, which involved collecting and wrapping gifts each Christmas.
Jake, we thank you for your “service above self” and all that you do for your community!
