Mora named P.E.P. Student of the Month
by Misty Volaski

Manny Mora of Meiners Oaks Elementary was honored last week as this month's Physical Education Project Student of the Month.
At the Rotary Club's March 15 meeting, Mora was presented with a $50 savings bond. He also received a certificate from the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports and a signed photograph of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Mora was chosen by his physical education teacher, Bridgette Lo Piano, and was accompanied to the meeting with teacher Tiffany Miller.
"He had shown me, so far this year, why he is so deserving of this award," Lo Piano said. "He is always enthusiastic about P.E. His kindness towards his fellow classmates is what I really admire. I always appreciate his hard work and respect for others."
The Rotary's P.E.P. award is given out to students in elementary school who demonstrate a willingness to learn and good sportsmanship in their physical education classes. It is modeled after the Rotary's Athlete of the Month program.
