HOPE OF AMERICA
In spring of each year the Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe honors a 5th grade student from each of the local elementary schools through our Kiwanis Hope of America Award. The recipient of this award is selected by their school principal and teacher and is a student who has consistently demonstrated excellence in each of the following areas:
Leadership
Ethical and moral character
Outstanding citizenship
Academic accomplishment
Each selected student is presented with a distinguished plaque and awarded a $50.00 check from the Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe. In addition, we invite the recipients, their parents, the school principal, and their teacher to a Kiwanis luncheon for official recognition.
The Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe believes that the Hope of America Award provides a way of honoring our youth and encouraging the values and attributes that will make great adults.
