Student Forum

Over 100 students showed up on a Saturday morning along with nearly 50 Rotarians, civic leaders, Paramount Petroleum employees and other caring adults.  We met in the newly remodeled gymnasium.  Fifteen round tables with eight students, a moderator and a judge spent 15 minutes discussing the following topics; gun control, women in combat roles, the national debt, (ethics, morals and values) and illegal immigration.  The purpose is to generate conversation among the students.  The topic at my table was illegal immigration, generally speaking the students are in favor of a rigorous path to citizenship, learning English and securing the border.

About 25 students received cash awards, mostly $25 and the top three received $50.  Everyone received a coupon for Jamba Juice.
