This past week for Kutztown Rotary
Kutztown Rotary Meeting last Wednesday, November 5th - Student of the Month!
Last Wednesday, November 5, members of the Kutztown Rotary Club celebrated the Student of the Month ceremony. One student from each of Kutztown Area High School and Brandywine Heights Area High School is selected by school administrators each month throughout the school year for this award based collectively on academic achievement, school participation, and community contributions. This month we enjoyed a double celebration as we honored students for both November and December. Pictured below are Anna Stump and Elliot Johnson, from Kutztown Area High School and Madeline Roibu from Brandywine Heights Area High School. The student for Brandywine was unable to attend and will join us during a different Student of the Month night.
All 3 of the students addressed the club members at the Ceremony where they all demonstrated qualities of exemplary students. They entertained questions from the club members and showed off their talents and abilities. The ceremony normally occurs during the Kutztown Rotary meeting on the first Wednesday of the month at the Kutztown Tavern, where the weekly meetings for the club generally take place. We wish Anna, Elliot, and Madeline the best of luck in their future endeavors.
Kutztown Rotary Club will celebrate a 100-year anniversary in
April of 2026 and we are celebrating the whole year of 2026!
Our tentative timeline is shown here:
NexTrex!
Keep up the great work!
We have reached our first goal!
But keep on collecting - we are doing a second bench and have now collected 344 pounds!
Just continue to send pictures of your drop off and let us know the weight - check back in next week for an updated total.
Please email or text your picture and the weight to Melissa Kirk or Laura McBride to get it recorded at NexTrex to count towards our 1000 lbs for the bench. If you are unable to drop off the plastic yourself, please bring it to a meeting.
