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.
