Youth Appreciation Week



The Annual Noon Optimist Youth Appreciation Banquet is held each May

Each year the Marshalltown Noon Optimist club along with Optimist International designates a week to youth appreciation. 

Each year we recognized outstanding 5th grade students in Marshall County. The students are nominated by their schools.  All Marshall County grade schools were invited to submit the names of one female and one male fifth grade student. Nominated students demonstrate high achievement not only in the classroom but as a citizen of this county.  The honored students were given a Youth Appreciation Award, a free pass to the new water park.  

The banquet is always a great success and a wonderful recognition for the students.  These students have contributed a lot to their school and community.  Some of the teacher’s comments about the students were:  “Zack is great leader in the classroom”; “Libby is a self starter”; “James sets high standards for others to follow”; “Emily demonstrates a strong work ethic”; “Michael sets a good example for his peers and is a positive leader.”; “Hannah's smile and positive attitude brightens my classroom on a daily basis”; “Michael is one of my best students at contributing to class discussions”; “Elizabeth is always happy and makes others feel that way as well”; “Damian attempts everything in school without complaint”; “Julie is apologetic for herself and forgiving to others”; “Valentin is a good spirited boy who always looks to do his best”; “Lydia's sense of humor can be uplifting to those around her”; Breanna makes the best out of any situation, and tries to see the good in everyone”; “Tanner has exhibited the traits of responsibility, respect, kindness, and trustworthiness”; “”Tim along with other students has taken time to read to Mrs. Marten’s student”; “Daisy’s warm bubbly personality makes everyone feel comfortable and welcomed to our school“; “Marlene is a strong leader who cares for others”; and “Jorge comes to school ready to learn and is an active participant”.  These are just a few of the comments made about each student.  These students will be wonderful leaders and role models.
