Fourth annual Certificates with Bursaries were Given to two Elementary School Students on June 26, 2014

For the fourth year in a row, Certificates of Personal Achievement and Community Spirit with Cash Bursaries were presented at a Leduc area elementary school to one female student and one male student selected by school staff from any grade. In 2014, they were presented at Covenant Christian.

These awards are rotated to a different school each year and provide the staff with another way to recognize two deserving students based on the criteria outlined in the framed documents which are presented. Each recipient:

* Displays initiative, scholastic effort, and academic achievement
* Demonstrates respect for school rules and the rights of others
* Promotes friendship among all students and staff
* Shows a willingness to be involved in school or community activities and events
* Has a respect for self, respect for others and is responsible for personal actions
* Best exemplifies the Optimist Creed

The happy recipients stand with documents and cash before Optimist members Ray and Denise
