The Elks of Wareham Lodge No. 1548 sponsors the Elks Student of the Month and Student of the Year Awards for students enrolled in local area high schools. The criteria used in nominating a student includes a student who excels in scholarship, citizenship, performing arts, fine arts, hobbies, athletics, church, school and community service, industry and farming. Faculty and staff of the high school nominate and select students.
We would like to congratulate senior Alexandria Powers for being selected as November’s Elks Student of the Month. Allie is a hard working student who is always polite and kind to others. She has been the driving force behind many of the community service events that the school has done this year, namely the Thanksgiving Day food drive. She created, photocopied and distributed all of the flyers. However, I knew I wanted to nominate her when I saw her walking in early one morning dragging in a ton of boxes that she had taken from her job to make sure the drive was set up and each homeroom had a drop off box. She had been the biggest help for this year’s drive by far. All and all, Allie goes above and beyond to help others.
