During each school year, outstanding students are honored as the the Kiwanis Student of the Month. Each student, their parents, and the individual providing the nomination are invited to our club to enjoy a meal on us, in exchange for an informal acceptance speech and sharing with club members the student's interests, aspirations, and educational goals.
This is a program we take great pride in, and enjoy the enthusiasm displayed by our Student of the Month recipients.
