Lovely County Citizen: State News: Rotary Students of the Month (03/28/12)

Each month during the school year, the Eureka Springs Rotary asks the Eureka Springs High School counselor to poll teachers to choose a student that exemplifies the Rotary 4-Way Test of the things we think, say and do: "Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build good will and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?"

Students are chosen on academic achievements as well as overall good citizenship and the willingness to set good examples for others. Students are invited to attend the last Rotary Meeting each month to receive their certificates and a free breakfast.
