Pacific Beach Kiwanians honor fifth graders

The Pacific Beach Kiwanis Club honored its first students for the 2025-26 school year through its “Student of the Month” recognition program.

The September honorees were fifth graders Oceana Gilsinger from Pacific Beach Elementary and Saranya Hegde from Kate Sessions Elementary.

Each student received a certificate and 25 Mr. Frostie dollars, which the business donated. The club also hosted the students, their families and teachers for breakfast. The students were nominated by their teachers for exhibiting leadership skills and being a good role model to peers.

The club’s goal is to honor students at Barnard, Kate Sessions and Pacific Beach elementary schools and Crown Point Junior Music Academy. For nomination details, teachers can contact Kiwanian Tony Bayona at 305-525-0791.
