Sebastian Exchange Club’s Young Citizenship Award honors pre-high school students who demonstrate good citizenship daily at school and home. It does not necessarily seek to salute star scholastic or athletic performers. Instead, the program is designed to recognize and encourage honest, hardworking, helpful, and fair youngsters. 

In practice, the Young Citizenship Award provides classroom teachers with an effective tool to further motivate promising students. It also provides Sebastian Exchange Club with an enjoyable opportunity to supply the encouragement that can be so vitally important in shaping the characters of youngsters at an impressionable time in their lives.

Sebastian Exchange Club is proud to present the November Young Citizenship and Youth of the Month award recipients:

Joniah Holson – Sebastian River Middle School

Joniah is a mature young lady who truly values education and learning and is not afraid to ask for help if she needs it. She is not only an Advanced IB Student, but she also is the Vice President of the school’s National Junior Honor Society and a member of the cheerleading team.

She is a leader and a team player in the classroom, blending in where she needs to for the particular lesson. Joniah puts forth her best effort in class every day. She is caring, respectful, conscientious, and always ready to learn. Joniah serves as a role model for her classmates to look up to and be inspired by. She has drive, integrity, and self-confidence. Simply put, she possesses all the qualities necessary for success both in school and in life. She is the epitome of a model student!

Torilynn Roux – Sebastian Charter Junior High School

Torilynn is focused, conscientious, responsible, creative, clever, and funny. Tori is an incredibly hardworking and detail-oriented student. She works amazingly well with all the students in her class and is always willing to help out when needed. She pays attention to details, is creative, and is a perfectionist. Torrilynn is an achiever and leads with a calming demeanor. In the classroom, she leads discussion; as creative director of the National Junior Honor Society, their fundraisers are unfolding, and bulletin boards are bursting with flair. She is also a masterful writer and excels in all subject areas. In 7th grade, she had an excellent Science Fair project which qualified her to compete in the Indian River Regional Science & Engineering Virtual Fair. There she earned 3rd place in the Plant Sciences category.

The Youth of the Month Award recognizes hardworking high school students who attain high academic achievement, community involvement, and leadership. This proven program not only rewards outstanding young people but also provides an incentive for other youngsters to strive for equally high levels of achievement.
