Please join me in congratulating Kieran, Melinda, Isac and Wendy who were honored last night at the Elk’s Student Award Banquet. It is the first in-person banquet the Elk’s have hosted since April of 2019 and oh what a lovely evening it was! The students were celebrated alongside students from the SF Public Schools and were chosen by their teachers because they are kind, helpful, supportive, hardworking, and all-around great kiddos! It was a proud moment for their families and the staff members who attended and spoke so highly of them. A big shout-out of thanks goes to Ron Reichman and all of the amazing Elk’s members for caring so deeply about our students.
