By Barry Villamil, Past President, Rotary Club of Pearlridge
The Rotary Club of Pearlridge began to present Good Citizen Awards on Tuesday to third graders from fourteen elementary schools in both the Aiea and Pearl City communities. Good Citizen Awards are a part of the Rotary Club of Pearlridge Annual Dictionary 5000 Project that donates free dictionaries in the beginning of the school year to 800+ third graders and their teachers. The RCOP returns at the end of the school year to award one boy and one girl from each school with Good Citizen Awards that include a congratulatory letter by the RCOP President and a $50.00 check.
Good Citizen Award recipients were chosen by their teachers for best exemplifying Principles of Rotary International’s Four Way Test which was included in the inside cover of their brand new dictionaries:
“Four Way Test”
1. Is it the truth
2. Is it fair to all concerned
3. Will it bring good will and better friendships
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned
