Rotary Stars is the name of a Rotary project designed to reward and encourage good citizenship. Youth Service lead Pam Spokes is the member who runs it for the Rotary Club of Leicester Novus. This is her report
18 pupils at Mellor Community Primary School have been rewarded for acts of kindness and good citizenship during a virtual assembly held in December. The children were nominated by their teachers and represent all year groups across the school.
We have received permission to display these photographs showing the pupils proudly displaying their Rotary Star certificates. They are named below, with a brief description of the reason for their nomination:
Photographs were not available for the pupils listed below, who also received nominations and Rotary Star Certificates:
Ava Brown, For being kind, caring and thoughtful; supporting other children and showing empathy.
Esa Makadam, For showing responsibility and confidence in communicating the views of his peers and contributing effectively at School Council.
Siber Abdullah, For helping to support a child new to the school, always making him feel welcome at break and including him in games.
Om Hiteshkumar, For being a true role model who always works hard even when finding things challenging; a joy to have in the classroom.
Maneet Menka, For being kind-hearted and showing great determination; having a great sense of humour which she shares with her friends.
Tiana Nakeshree, For being kind and always willing to help others.
Zakariya Limalia, For working hard and trying his best in everything he does; being kind and supportive to others.
Pam said how delighted she was that the partnership between the Rotary Club of Leicester Novus and Mellor Primary, over many years, had resulted in so many young children being recognised and rewarded for acts of good citizenship. She thanked Deputy Head Teacher Asif Esat and the staff at Mellor for their co-operation in running the project and very much looks forward to the time when the Rotary Star Certificates can once again be presented in person at end of term assemblies.
Rotary Stars is only one of many projects and competitions organised by Rotary Clubs across the country. Rotarians say that Youth Service is one of the most rewarding avenues of service and provides a major commitment to educating future generations.
Our thanks to Mellor Primary School for supplying these photographs.
