He has logged numerous hours of community service, plays guitar, and started a music club at school. He will attend Texas A&M in the fall, majoring in Chemical Engineering.
Schreiner University has installed a sprinkler system to water the trees that were planted in the Rotary Grove. These trees were part of a community service project our club organized, and volunteers have been watering the trees along this stretch of the River Trail at Schreiner University for the past year to keep them alive during the drought. Thank you to Schreiner University for installing the sprinklers to keep the trees healthy. The Dietert Center will be the next beneficiary of tree planting from our club.
