East Haven Rotary Club 'Students Of The Month' Honored

EAST HAVEN, CT —The East Haven Rotary Club recently recognized their final Students of the Month for the "most difficult" of school years, 2020-2021.

Prior to the pandemic, the awards were presented several times a year at one of the club's weekly dinner meetings. However due an abundance of caution these awardees were given their recognition in the East Haven High School lobby.

Recently Rotarian's Kathy Conner and Tammy Afragola presented four students with their Rotary Student of the Month awards.

The Student of the Month is a partnership between the East Haven Rotary Club and East Haven High School that recognizes students for outstanding character as well as academic achievements or progress.

During normal times, each month the Rotary recognizes a student from East Haven High School's junior class. The student is invited to attend a Thursday night dinner meeting at the Twin Pines Diner and is presented with a certificate and a check for $100.

Winners then become eligible for the $ 1000 Jack Leary Memorial scholarship to be awarded at the end of their senior year.
