Last May, Polk Central School fourth grader, Makayla Staley (center) was honored as the Terrific Kid for the month by her teacher, Ms. Andrea Walter (left). Makayla’s father, Billy Staley (right), happened to be volunteering in Ms. Walter’s classroom that day, so he joined in the celebration. During the past school year, Mr. Staley volunteered in four different classrooms for four hours each week, helping with math and reading. Terrific Kids is a Kiwanis program to honor students who display responsible citizenship and good work habits in elementary classrooms. Tryon Kiwanis Club members Ed Komorous, Bob Weiner and Rosemary Pleune visit Polk Central and Sunnyview elementary schools each month to present certificates and pencils to those students chosen by their teachers as Terrific Kid for the month.
