Two radio students honored by Rotary

Two radio broadcasting students were honored at last night's governing board meeting as the Mesa East Rotary Club's Students of the Month.


Breanna Bullis (left) and Nicole Bird are both second-year students in Steve Grosz's radio broadcasting program. He describes them both as shining stars who are an example to other students.

Breanna and Nicole put on a bit of a show at the board meeting, challenging the board president, Garry Hays, and superintendent Dr. Sally Downey to a game of "Truth or Trash." The girls gave a "fact," and the two had to figure out whether it was a true statement.

For example: "Ashley is the most popular name in the world (trash)" or "Men have better vision than women (truth)."

Dr. Downey won.

But Breanna and Nicole also had a chance to tell board members what EVIT has meant to them.

Breanna said when she first started at EVIT, she wasn't sure what she wanted to do after high school, and she liked the flexibility and variety of the school's programs.

"EVIT has really prepared me for the future," she said.

And Nicole said that EVIT helped her get over her natural shyness and taught her a better balance of work and fun in class.

Congrats to both girls for being top notch students!
