2016 marks the seventh year that Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the Rotary Club of Omaha (www.rotaryclubofomaha.com) have collaborated to present the BBB Student Service Excellence Awards. These awards, funded by BBB’s Foundation, were created to promote and recognize character and school and community service.

All high schools in the metro Omaha area are annually invited to identify 10th graders who were Rotary Honor Roll Students when they were in the 8th grade and exemplify the values of BBB and Rotary – personal integrity, ethical behavior and leadership.

This year’s winners are: Emily Dobesh, Millard West Senior High School, Joanna James, Omaha Christian Academy, Cassidy Loucks, Ralston High School, Sierra Morris, Elkhorn South High School, Andrew Pfeifer, Millard West Senior High School, Haley Renken, Millard West Senior High School, Sabrina Salrin, Benson High School, Logan Spanel, Elkhorn Senior High School, Sekina Yaseen, Central High School and Allison Zieg, Millard West Senior High School.

Winners were recognized at Rotary’s Annual Honor Roll Luncheon on May 4th and will also be honored at BBB’s Integrity Awards Event in the fall. Each also designated a charity to receive a $200 donation from the BBB Foundation. Those selected are: The Hope Center for Kids (Omaha Branch), Voice of the Martyrs, Charles Drew Health Center, Extreme Response International – Ecuador Program, ALS Foundation, Project Harmony, Humane Society of the US, ALS in the Heartland, American Lung Association and Open Door Mission.
