Guided by a panel of teachers and counselors, the students of the month for March, Madelyn Ogorek, for April, Natalie Windels and for May, Bailey Jacoby. This designation was based on their school and community activities, attitudes and accomplishments that displayed the Rotarian values of honesty, community investment and consideration of others.

“Rotary is pleased to identify these three students for the last segment of the year,” said Steve Conlin, chair of the Student of the Month committee. “It is the mark of a strong community and strong parents to foster students such as these.”

For March, Ogorek showed throughout high school increasing leadership and accomplishment in sports, speech competitions, French Club and volunteer efforts with the Interact Club and assisting the teacher with paperwork and tutoring students in Advanced Placement U.S. History courses.
