Rotary recognizes Frazier's Students of the Month

FALLBROOK – William H. Frazier Elementary School principal Joe Kniseley presented Students of the Month to the Rotary Club of Fallbrook at a recent weekly luncheon.

Martina Lucas, fifth grade, was recognized for being a leader at Frazier for many years. She has served as a student tutor and photojournalist. Martina shared that in response to her cousin being picked on, she "got her friends together and worked on a presentation to students to teach them how to not bully, to be kind, and to be leaders."

Jesus Rojas, fifth grade, was recognized for voluntarily beginning to work with students in the special education classroom. Teachers were impressed that Jesus was using techniques that many of the adult aides are trained to use. Jesus said he "learned how to be compassionate from watching his mother work with his special needs sister." Jesus thanked his mom and his friends who "give me a bigger heart!"

The Student of the Month program is part of an ongoing effort by the Rotary Club of Fallbrook to encourage and reward student excellence and achievement. For more information, see www.fallbrookrotary.org.
