The Elks of Wareham / New Bedford Lodge No. 73 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.
We congratulate Senior, Constance Friedman of Marion, for being selected as Student of the Month for September by the Old Rochester Regional High School Faculty and Staff. Connie is a truly kind and compassionate person. In school, she welcomed a new student, making sure they felt included and helping them with their schoolwork. Outside of school, she goes the extra mile by walking her older neighbor’s energetic dog and spending time with them. Connie is involved in both the school community and her neighborhood. Her acts of kindness shine through in all parts of her life, like participating in drama productions, tea club and helping neighbors in need. She’s an inspiring example of how being kind can make a positive impact on others’ lives both in the classroom and beyond.
