Renton Rotary Awards October
Youth of the Month

Pearl Nguyen, senior at Lindbergh High School, was selected as the Lindbergh Rotary Youth of the Month.

Nguyen holds a 3.9 G.P.A. and has been a member of Drama Club, Key Club, National Honor Society, Medical Explorers, Environmental Club, Tennis, and has held ASB Officer positions.

Nguyen's achievements include Top 10 Junior Award, Masonic Outstanding
Junior Award, Malcolm Lewis Outstanding Club Member Award, various
sports awards, and Seamount Academic Achievement Awards. She has
volunteered with Treehouse For Kids to organize clothes/toys for foster
kids.

Pearl plans to attend either University of Washington or Stanford
to obtain a medical degree and to pursue a career in pediatrics.

Rotary members recognize three Renton School District high school students each month as Youth of the Month.

After being selected by counselors at each of the district’s three high schools, a selection committee of Rotary members reviews applications and interviews students to identify those who will be selected as Youth of the Month.

The award is given to students who possess leadership abilities, maintain a good grade point average, participate in school activities and volunteer in their community.

The students and their parents are honored guests at a regular Rotary luncheon.
