The Pacific Beach Kiwanis Club has honored its fourth group of students for the 2025-26 school year through its “Student of the Month” recognition program. The January honorees were Lily Kennedy, a fifth grader at Barnard Mandarin Magnet Elementary; Kennedy Lane, a fifth grader at Kate Sessions Elementary; and Evan Smith, a fourth grader at Pacific Beach Elementary. The club also hosted the students, their families and teachers for breakfast. The students were nominated by their teachers for exhibiting leadership skills and being a good role model to peers. The club’s goal is to honor students at Barnard, Kate Sessions and Pacific Beach elementary schools and Crown Point Junior Music Academy.
