February 'Student of the Month'
 
Lewisville Rotary recognized the Student of the Month for February 2020, Sophia Lam.  Sophia is the daughter of Tien Lam and Le Ly.  Sophie began her scholastic career in Pre K at Lillie S. Jackson.  She next attended Degan Elementary, Huffines Middle School and Killough High prior to attending LHS.  She has been a member of the following clubs or organizations:
· Kindness Club
· Baking Club
· Mu Alpha Theta – Mathematics Honor Society
· Multicultural Club – has served as Secretary & currently Vice President
· HOSA
· Student Council
· Rotary’s Interact Club – has served as Community Service Officer & currently President
· National Honor Society
 
Outside of school Sophia volunteers at the Lewisville Public Library and Animal Shelter and is a Pharmacy Technician In-Training.  Her academic achievements are staggering.  They include: AP Classes: Human Geography, Biology, English Language, Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, Government and Politics, US & World History, Macroeconomics, and Calculus AB & BC. 
 
Sophia is in the top 10% of her graduating class but more specifically is ranked #3 currently out of her class of 1,154 graduating seniors.  Her college scholarship offers so far include the University of Oklahoma: Award of Excellence @ $56,000 and the University of TX at Dallas: Academic Excellence - $64,000.  Sophia has not made a final decision yet but admits her choice is between the University of Texas for their campus and great programs that fit her choice of major as her first choice and the second choice is the University of TX at Dallas. Sophia plans to major in Biochemistry Future and said this about her future plans: “After taking many of the healthcare courses offered at the career center, I know that I want to pursue a career in the healthcare field and the role of Physician Assistant seems to interest me more than any other career.”
 
Lewisville Noon Rotary is pleased to congratulate Sophia Lam as its ‘Student of the Month’ for February 2020.

  2. Written Scripts are not allowed; 3 x 5 cards may be used;
  1. No props of any kind will be allowed.

THE ROTARY FOUR-WAY TEST
 
Of the things we think, say or do:
 
Is it the TRUTH?
 
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
 
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

Rotary Reads - Thursday Edition
Members of our club attended the 'Rotary Reads' effort at Parkway Elementary this past Thursday, February 20, 2020.  'Rotary Reads' is a joint effort between Communities in Schools, LISD, and Lewisville Noon Rotary to read to 1st graders once a month this year.  Reading is the foundation for learning and so the seeds planted with this effort will influence our society for years to come.

FAMILY OF ROTARY
 
“Continued prayer for Melanie John’s dad. He suffered a traumatic brain injury due to a fall and is out of ICU and into a rehab facility. During this difficult time, Melanie was married on Friday, March 5th in Florida. Her mom and dad had to participate by video feed. Melanie praises the Lord for His goodness to her and her family!”
