As President of the Art Club, Delissia leads with thoughtfulness, creating an inclusive space for students and building connections with the larger community. She played a vital role in the DE Colors Concert, coordinating the art section and collaborating with other groups to make the event a success. Her volunteerism also includes impactful initiatives beyond campus, such as participating in Feed My Starving Children and teaching ceramics at Pebble Creek Community. Delissia’s character is best exemplified by her self-funded pumpkin-carving activity for our medically fragile students, which showed her generosity and care for those around her. She is a standout leader who embodies the spirit of service and compassion, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for any opportunity that lets her strengths shine.
Karen is a resident of Pebblecreek and is active with many activities in Pebblecreek. She was sponsored by Colleen Mallany and I bet they met on the pickleball courts. Karen is a former Infant Welfare professional from Chicago. We are so happy she decided to leave the snow and join us in the sunshine. Karen's former career makes being a Youth Service Committee member a natural. However, she has
also been tapped to serve with The Vocational Avenue of Service as well.
We are so happy to have these dedicated ladies as part of our group! We are looking forward to serving with you! Service above self.
September Student of the Month for Desert Edge High School in recognition of Outstanding Leadership - Agasne Bragado
September's Millennium Student of the Month is 11th grader Madison Mendoza. Here is the short narrative from her Spanish teacher, Mr. Davenport:
Access to solar lighting eliminates the need for a costly fuel source and offers immediate savings.
Solar lighting also means people can continue daily activities after dark, which directly impacts household income, safety, and overall health.
Solar light starts people on the pathway to prosperity.
On a recent Saturday, our club members partnered with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering safe and comfortable bunk beds to children and families in need. In groups of 5-6 we delivered and built single and bunk beds for children living in homes who didn't have a bed of their own or who were sleeping on the floor. Seeing the excitement and smiles on these children's faces were marvelous. Rotarians are people of action and want to make a difference in people's lives. This project was inspirational and truly heart-warming to be a part of.
"Every child deserves the physical and mental benefits that come with a better night’s sleep. Every child deserves to have a bed of their own," says SHP.
Thank you Sleep in Heavenly Peace for the opportunity to help!
