The Manhattan Beach Coordinating Council this week hosted a special
luncheon to honor its April students of the month from Manhattan Beach
schools.
The group honors
students at luncheons in November, January, March, and April. At the
group's May luncheon, it will award scholarships to Mira Costa High School
seniors.
This month's group of honored students included:

Nicole Hiranburana (Pacific
Elementary)
Paloma Rose (Meadows Elementary)
Drew Vacarro (Meadows
Elementary)
Xavier Chang (American Martyrs)

The students were praised for their hard work, thoughtfulness, leadership, and kindness to others.
Each student received certificates of commendation from the Manhattan Beach Coordinating Council, the city of Manhattan Beach, and local elected leaders.
The council also shared a special farewell to longtime MBCC supporter Sherry Kramer of Continental Development on occasion of her retirement.
