2023 FALL CHARACTER AWARDS
On November 17, the Tucson Kino Rotary Club honored nine area high school students with Character Awards. Awardees are nominated by school administrators, counselors, teachers, or other students.
The Tucson Kino Rotary Club established the Spring and Fall Character Awards in 2011 to honor high school students who serve as role models in their schools and in society via service to the community. Also, for their acting in accordance with the Rotary 4-Way Test.
Of the things we think, say or do:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
This Fall, the 2023 Character Award Recipients are:
- Adriana Najar, Alta Vista High School
- Alma Johnson Juan, Baboquivari High School
- Faye Stiner, Cholla High School
- Farah Abdulkader Alghaithi, Desert View High School
- Ann Marie Sida, PPEP TEC High School
- Maria Campos Tapia, Pueblo Magnet High School
- Taylor Crouch, Star Academic High School
- Mia Gonzales, Sunnyside High School
- Yatsel Lopez, Toltecalli High School
The students were recognized at a community breakfast attended by family and representatives from each school. Each honoree received a Certificate of Recognition, a Rotary 4-Way Test coin, small gifts and a $50 gift card. In addition, Tucson Kino Rotary will donate $50 to a charity of each student’s choice.
