Honoring 8 Outstanding Students
At our meeting on February 20 we honored 8 outstanding students. The students are nominated by a teacher, administrator or guidance counselor in the middle and high schools of the Arlington, Darrington and Lakewood School Districts. Each of the district superintendents, with their executive team, review and choose those to be recognized.
Each outstanding student selected is invited to the meeting. Reasons given for the nomination are presented by the superintendents who introduce the student to the club. After each student introduces family members and school staff, they tell us a bit about themselves and their future plans. Each outstanding student receives a trophy and a certificate from the club. In addition, each student is asked to select a charity of his/her choice for a $50 donation from our club.
The superintendent from Darrington, Buck Marsh, was unable to attend so Chrys Sweating presented the students from both Arlington and Darrington. Superintendent Scott Peacock presented the Lakewood students.

Based on their poise in front of the group, it is easy to see why each were selected to be recognized by our club as an outstanding student. Congratulations to each of them, and to their parents and staff!
