Morgan Fowble and Kelsey Williams were chosen as student members of the Rotary Club for February. They will represent the Chandler High School senior class at the service club’s weekly meetings.
Morgan is the daughter of Tracy Fowble and Mark Fowble. She is the youngest of three children in her family.
She has prepared for life after high school by learning two very importing things – how to cook and how to manage money on her own.
Morgan served as captain of both the basketball and softball teams and helped out with Little Kids Basketball and Softball Camps. Her extracurricular activities included Positive Peers.
Her volunteer work through programs that are offered at Chandler High School have helped her to realize that putting service before self is something that comes from the heart. She says that putting others’ needs before your own will, in turn, help you to achieve great things. Through the organiza
Through the organization Stamp Out Starvation, Morgan helped put together nutritious meals to send to hungry children in Haiti. The volunteers made 29,052 meals by combining rice with other ingredients in a bag, packing them and loading them onto a truck.
As a member of Business Professionals of America, she took part in adopting a family for Christmas and helping children in Special Olympics. Morgan found it heartwarming to play games with the kids all day and seeing the joy in their faces as she showed interest in their achievements.
Morgan’s plans for her future include attending Rose State College in Midwest City, Okla., to study health and sports science.
Kelsey, the daughter of Autumn Williams and Brian Williams, has one younger sibling.
In preparation for life after high school, she has taken classes in Algebra III and Chemistry I and II. She has attended softball camps to improve her skills for a potential softball scholarship and has applied for other financial help for college.
Kelsey believes that service above self means putting other people before yourself with all of your effort. Even acts as simple as helping an elderly woman get a bag of chips off the top shelf before you get your own is meeting another person’s need.
Being active in CHS organizations has helped Kelsey learn the satisfaction of putting others before herself. She dropped her plans one summer to help out with Special Olympics. One of the children participating took her by the hand to help him play some games. Spending the day helping him made the day very special for both of them. He was able to take part in the games and she realized she should not take things for granted and to always help others.
She participated in food drives including packaging food to be sent to needy families overseas through the Stamp Out Starvation organization. After high school graduation, she plans to attend a small college for basic courses before transferring to Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. She wants to pursue a career in the medical field to become a veterinarian.
