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
14 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 show these photographs with 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:
Antonia Richards, for showing compassion and patience when helping those around her. Antonia demonstrates good skills and shows a supportive style to aid her classmates
Bilal Tejani, for demonstrating friendship and kindness. Bilal is a supportive and patient learning partner who shows determination and resilience
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 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.
