Chandler Lions recognize students

2007 Chandler Lions Club Stars

Thirty-five Brownsboro Junior High and High School students were recognized by the Chandler Lions Club, during their Student Recognition Program, held Tuesday, May 1, in the Chandler Community Center.

Students possessing such qualities as dedication, great attitude, kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness, excellent student, helpful, respectful, caring, polite, diligent, outstanding, and dependable, were called forward to receive their medal.

"You will notice there is a common thread that links all these students together," said Lions Club member and BISD Superintendent Elton Caldwell who presented the awards, along with Lions Club members Charles and Darla Fink. "All tend to work hard in school and tend to be respectful to their teachers and peers. All these kids have these common traits. It's always a pleasure to work with them."

7th grade students recognized were: Trey Volentine, Macy Perry, Callie Huffman, Brittanie Scheen, Breanne McKeever, and Oscar Olivares.

8th grade: Kadie De La Garza, Macy Pollard, Carlos Mendoza, Matt Freeman, Zachary Lucker, and Ashleigh Alford.

9th grade: Erica Rojas, Aurora Rojas, Shelbi Holt, Zachary Bailey, and Charles Johnson.

10th grade: Kaylee Bartmess, Brandon Irby, Gwen Goodwin, Matt Lough, Caleb Loggins, and Michael Grace.

11th grade: Emily Bynum, Crystal Young, Tiffany Nix, John Boyd, Salma Rojas, and Kimberly Golden.

12th grade: Dustin Wilson, Sara Scarborough, Daniel Rojas, Amanda Grosclose, Lauren Early, and Courtney Allison.

Students receiving awards were nominated by their teachers, then selected by the faculty as a whole.

"This gives Lions Club members a chance to recog- nize some special kids," Caldwell said. "This group is well on its way. It's our pleasure as the Lions Club to recognize these students, and my pleasure as part of the school."

Chandler Lions members are quietly active throughout the city and county. Members believe in giving something back to the community, and are dedicated to finding people in need, and in addressing those needs in efficient and caring ways.

The Chandler Lions Club meets at the Chandler Community Center the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month at 6:30 for a meal, program, and meeting. The public is always welcome.
