TRUSSVILLE — The Trussville Rotary Daybreak Club is pleased to announce its Don Haisten Student of the Month (SOM) for November.
Devin Kennedy is a senior at Clay-Chalkville High School. Devin is a former member of the Math Team and is active in his church. He is also a member of the National Honor Society. In his spare time, he enjoys anything related to technology, hardware, and software.
Kennedy’s teacher of the Month (TOM) selection is Mrs. Shanna Hays, his computer science teacher.
“Mrs. Hays’ class allowed me to understand program code further, which will help me in my planned career,” Kennedy said
The SOM and TOM programs are sponsored by Full Moon Bar-B-Q. Each recipient was presented with a certificate and a Full Moon gift card.
The Rotary International is a global network of 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders and whose motto is ‘Service above Self.’ This club lives out this motto by serving the community in many ways. Proceeds from fundraising events, including the coordination of a golf tournament for 30 years, go toward the club’s many projects. Those projects include leadership opportunities for local high school students, Dr. Seuss books for local elementary students, ribbons at City Hall in recognition of Veterans’ Day, lunch for campers and staff at Smile-a-Mile, trees planted at Civitan Park, and more. In addition, the Club recently funded the new clock in downtown Trussville, benches at the walking track at Cahaba Elementary, and playground equipment at The Mall in historic Trussville.
The Trussville Rotary Daybreak Club meets at 7 a.m. on the first through fourth Wednesday mornings of each month at First Baptist Church Trussville (128 N. Chalkville Road).
