An annual tradition continued as the Smithtown Rotary Club honored the perseverance and personal journey of 14 hardworking students from Smithtown High Schools East and West during the Smithtown CSD Rotary Award Ceremony.
Every district high school guidance counselor recommended one deserving recipient who has overcome significant obstacles or adversity to excel in school. Whether a disability, personal tragedy or hardship, each recipient demonstrated a dedication to succeed despite the challenge. One by one, the counselors gave their heartfelt accounts of why their students are deserving of the recognition.
The 2015 Smithtown Rotary Club Award winners are: Monique Abrams, Brandon Bunger, Thomas Datre, Tyler Eley, Tyler Farkas, Rishma Farooq, Saige Ferentinos, Grete Kraus, Gabriella Link, Connor McKean, Nicholas McMahon, Zachary Reyes, Jillian Shea and Warren Wang. Each winner received a certificate of recognition and a Barnes and Noble gift card from the Smithtown Rotary Club.
