By Barry Villamil, Past President, Rotary Club of Pearlridge
I was truly honored to present Rotary Club of Pearlridge Dictionary 5000 Good Citizen Awards this morning at Kanoelani Elementary School during the end of school year awards assembly. It was another rewarding experience and wonderful opportunity to serve as a RCOP Good Citizen Award presenter.
It was nice to return to Kanoelani Elementary to announce and present Good Citizen Awards after presenting and distributing free dictionaries to the third grade class and their teachers in the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year.
On Tuesday, RCOP President Eric Fujimoto presented Good Citizen Awards at Pearl City Elementary School during the schools end of year awards assembly.
President Eric received an overwhelming and energetic welcome from the Pearl City Elementary student body and ohana while being introduced.
They also cheered for each Good Citizen Awards recipient as their names were announced and were presented their Good Citizen Awards which included a recognition and congratulator letter signed by President Eric and a $50.00 check.
President Eric and I wished everyone a safe and fun filled summer vacation and that we were looking forward to presenting the incoming 2026-2027 third graders with their very own, brand new dictionaries.
Service Above Self
Proud to be a Rotarian
