Seven recipients received their certificates in person and one student sent his parents in his place. Those unable to attend were at a mandatory graduation practice. The Scholarship Committee looked for students who demonstrated “service above self” in the community as volunteers in addition to their academic and other school achievements. |

The District 5050 Exchange Students gathered in Canada, Seabeck and flew to California to see Disneyland, try surfing and visit the Los Angeles area landmarks. Wotjek joined Arlington Rotary Club Members assembling holiday baskets at the food bank and gathering food during the annual Santa Run.  He celebrated his 17thbirthday with the club and with his host family and friends. He returns to Poland in June, grateful for his time in Arlington and the many experiences he would not have had otherwise. When asked what he wanted as his first meal when he returns to Poland, he said McDonalds. Some things are universal.
