Essay Winners!
Women's History Month Essay Winners Presented at our May 13th Meeting
This year's essay subject was to write about the "woman who most influenced my life."
Our winners were both named Salma, and both had an interesting story to tell. Salma Fernandez is a seventh grader at Bristow Middle School. She spoke about how her grandmother, an emigrant from Costa Rica, taught her to always believe in herself.
Our second winner, Salma Nouioua, is an exchange student from Tunisia, finishing her junior year at Hall High School. She was also Secretary General of her Interact Club in Tunisia. She too, spoke about her grandmother.
Both women received cash awards from the Rotary Club of West Hartford and handsome proclamations from our State's legislative delegation
