Congratulations to our Orillia Students for achieving Rotary Student of the Month.
October Student of the Month

Her teacher, Chris Lowery, described Emily as a natural leader who pushes herself to learn. Starting Gr. 9 she was an instrumental participant in the school's PEAC (Partners in Education, Adventure and Community) program and by Gr. 10 she was leading the direction of the class. Emily is very devoted to projects, focused on sustainability, women's health and social causes. Chris describes Emily as a "Renaissance Girl". She is a standout student with a high 90's average and at the same time on Student Council, X-Country and Swimming teams.

She maintains a 95% average and is highly respected by both her peers and teachers.
