Kiwanis Club of Marco Island held its first breakfast meeting of the season at Ori's Bakery on October 17th and honored Terrific Kids from the fifth grade at Tommie Barfield Elementary School.

Scarlett Irigoyen was nominated by her teacher Mrs. Pena, who stated that Scarlett is kind and caring, and a great leader in the classroom. Outside of school, Scarlett likes to dance and do crafts. She also likes to fish, swim, and play the piano. If she could have one superpower, she would like to be able to fly. If she could visit any place in the world, she would like to go to Japan. She hopes to become a vet because she loves animals.

Teacher Mrs. Kerens nominated Ximena Lora as a Terrific Kid and said that she is a wonderful part of the class, always looking out for others and always focused on the task. She is a loyal and cheerful friend. Ximena comes from a family of eight people and seven dogs - all chihuahuas. Outside of school, Ximena loves painting and if she could have any superpower, she would like the power of ice to freeze things. If she could visit any place in the world, she would go to Hawaii because it is a beautiful tropical island. When she grows up, Ximena wants to be a teacher.

Mrs. Bonfitto nominated Aly Steinberg as a Terrific Kid and said that Aly is a very friendly and inclusive student, always enthusiastic to be at school, and to learn new things. Aly's family is originally from Minnesota and she has two brothers. Outside of school, she likes to do many sports and enjoys watching movies and crafting. Her superpower of choice would be teleportation so that she could visit her family in Minnesota without going on a plane. If she could go any place in the world, she would visit California to see her cousin. When she grows up, Aly would like to be a kindergarten teacher.

One Terrific Kid was unable to join us for the breakfast meeting. Antal Ly was nominated by Ms. Sliwka, who said that Antal was always focused on academics and was a kind and respectful student. In the questionnaire, Antal stated that he has a sister, likes to play games with friends after school, and would like to go to Texas to visit with his sister and cousins. Antal would like to become a doctor.

Kiwanis Club of Marco Island congratulates all of our Terrific Kids and their Terrific families and wishes them all a very bright and successful future. Our next meeting will be a dinner meeting on Thursday, October 24th at Cape Marco. If you would like to join the Kiwanis Club of Marco Island, contact Secretary Cindy Crane at lucindaed@aol.com.
