RB Sunrise Rotary Selects Abraxas Student of the Month

As part of its ongoing partnership with Abraxas High School, the Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club announced their Student Of The Month award for January 2013 at this week’s breakfast meeting.

The presentation to Sarah McDonald was made by teacher Janice Pepin and RB Sunrise Rotarian Jeanne MacLaren.

“Sarah is in her fourth year of our transition program, and is doing a phenomenal job getting her life in order,” reported Pepin. She added “She’s been working hard, has lost 30 pounds since August, and is very excited about this next phase in her life.”

“She’s ready to take on the world!”

“Sarah is a wonderful example of what each of us can do to improve our lives when we set our minds to it,” Ms. MacLaren told the room packed with area professionals. “She’s been aggressively pursuing her education, and understands how important it is to her future.”

As a reward for her hard work, Sarah received a gift certificate and an award in honor of her achievement from the RB Sunrise Rotary.

The RB Sunrise Rotary Club is comprised of 55 north county business and community leaders who meet for breakfast every Tuesday at 7am at the RB Country Club on Greens East Road in RB. Professionals from throughout the region considering membership in the club are invited to attend for a free breakfast and some of the finest camaraderie to be found in San Diego.
