Serving Barnwell County and it's neighbors since 1852
Madison Doughtie, Cody Padgett, Kaitlyn Redd and Hunter Zorn are the April recipients of the Service Above Self awards from the Rotary Club of Barnwell County.
During their April 11 meeting, the Rotary Club of Barnwell County honored four students for displaying service above self.
The club bestows “Service Above Self” awards each month to one student from each of the county’s three public high schools and Jefferson Davis Academy for exemplifying the club’s motto.
“We are so appreciative of all that you all do. It is so wonderful when we see our students across the county making a difference in the lives of others, not only locally but beyond that,” said Rotarian Dr. Crissie Stapleton. “I hope you truly know the difference you make.”
