MAY YOUTH OF THE MONTHRose KnowlesThe May character pillar is citizenship. Rose displays citizenship at the Lunney Youth Center by being a good friend who is always willing to lend a hand to contribute to the greater good. Her friends say that she takes charge when no one knows what to do, which makes her a great leader. She is also caring and plays by the rules. Rose encourages others to follow the rules and respect each other and the community. Great job, Rose! Keep up the good work as an exemplary citizen.
