Eastside Elementary Students, Teachers and Principals Recognized During Annual Optimist Club Youth Appreciation Dinner
Fourth- and fifth-grade students from eight east Fort Worth schools were recognized on Wednesday, May 10, during the annual Youth Appreciation dinner hosted by the Breakfast Optimist Club of East Fort Worth.
The event was held at the Meadowbrook United Methodist Church for the students, families, teachers and principals. After being introduced by their principals or teachers describing why they were chosen based on their attitudes, aptitudes and optimism, students were interviewed by past Optimist International President and current Fort Worth Municipal Court Chief Judge Danny Rodgers.
One by one, he asked the students to describe their favorite subject, favorite book, what character they would play in the book, favorite and least favorite words, and where they would have dinner anywhere in the world (top choice for the last question was Paris, France, followed by the more practical Red Lobster).
Students received framed certificates and gift cards at the close of the event. Students recognized by their schools include Diego Resendiz, Sagamore Hill; April Vazquez Rocha, East Handley; Soriya Phuen, Lowery Road, Rachael Joseph, West Handley; Angelina Rodriguez, Meadowbrook; Lyn'dell McCurin, Eastern Hills; Gabby Howell, Westpark; and Kalilah Goynes, St. Rita Catholic School.
