The Superior Rotary each month sponsors the Superior Student’s of the Month with a luncheon at Los Hermanos Restaurant. Albert Einstein once said, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think”. The heart of the rotary club is dedicated people who share passion for community and youth. Rotary supports the educational aspirations of our youth who are our future. The rotary club enjoys hearing from our local youth about their future plans and the continued progress in education.
This month’s students of the month are: Brandon Martinez who is in the eighth grade, his parents are Lorena and Alfredo Martinez he participates in football, basketball and student council. After high school Brandon plans to attend Cochise College and become a pilot.

It is a pleasure for the Superior Rotarians to meet with the students each month and inform the students of what being a Rotarian is and to learn about the youth and their future goals. It’s not too early to start thinking about scholarships in which every year the Superior Rotary Club offers two $500 scholarships to seniors that apply and attend college. For more information please feel free to contact a rotarian member or ask Angela Brammer, Superior’s guidance counselor. The Rotarians would like to thank you, Angela Brammer for chaperoning the students to attend lunch with the Rotarians each month.
The Superior Rotary meets every Tuesday at noon for a luncheon at Los Hermanos Blue Room. Please feel free to stop in and visit to see what is new with the Superior Rotary.
