Rotary Club of Pearlridge President Lasar McCabe, along with RCOP Board Members Dick Mosko and me, presented Pearl City Highlands Elementary School third grader Shawn Yamaguchi with a well-deserved Good Citizen Award on Friday during the school’s awards assembly held in the cafeteria. Friday’s Good Citizen Award presentation was the first of 12 presentations that will be made to one deserving third grader from each school representing Pearl City and Aiea Complex elementary schools.
Earlier in the 2017-2018 school year, RCOP community volunteers delivered over 800 free dictionaries to third graders and their teachers representing the 12 participating Pearl City and Aiea elementary schools. The dictionary donations were a part of Rotary International's Annual Dictionary 5000 Project. The 12 students were chosen by their teachers to receive a Good Citizen Award which includes a $50.00 check and recognition certificate from the RCOP. Each Good Citizen Award winning student who best exemplified the principles of Rotary International’s Four Way Test throughout the school year, were chosen by their teachers to receive the award.
"Four Way Test"
1. Is it the truth;
2. Is it fair to all concerned,
3. Will it bring good will and better friendships,
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned.
