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 Jacob Newton of Mattapoisett for being selected as Student of the Month for December by the Old Rochester Regional High School Faculty and Staff.
Jake is a senior on the Unified Basketball team and exemplifies the Unified Sports mission of “meaningful inclusion.” He is a rebounding machine and creates countless opportunities for his teammates to score. Jake is a positive role model for his teammates and always has a smile on his face. If not on the court, Jake is cheering on the sidelines and high fiving his teammates. He is an outstanding example of what it means to be a Bulldog.
