The Clarkston Area Optimist club honored two Students of the Month for November and December at their Dec. 1 and Dec. 8 meetings, held at Liberty Golf & Banquet.
The November Student of the Month Award went to Christian Taylor, a fourth grade student from Independence Elementary. Christian was recommended and presented the award by Principal Chris Turner.
The December Student of the Month Award went to Brienne Peers, a fifth grade student at Pine Knob Elementary who was recommended by the award by Principal K.C. Leh.
These students were chosen because of their willingness to reach out and help their fellow students as well as living the Optimist Creed: ‘To give a cheerful countenance at all times, and give every living creature you meet a smile.?
