November Junior Kiwanian
Charity Hribar
As “a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time,” Kiwanis puts great value on the achievements of youth, and seeks out opportunities to help them succeed in their pursuits. With this mission in mind, The Neillsville Kiwanis Club proudly continues its Junior Kiwanian program, which has spotlighted the outstanding talents, commitment, and achievements of local high school students for the past 50 years.
The club welcomes Neillsville High School senior student Charity Hribar as its Junior Kiwanian for the month of November. She is the daughter of Lori Murphy and Richard Hribar, and was introduced to the club at the Nov. 6 meeting.
A strong academic background characterizes Hribar’s high school years. She is a member of the National Honor Society, and the Spanish Honor Society, has served on Student Council four years, served as a class officer and is a current Spanish Club officer. Hribar is in STEM Club, is a BLAST member, belongs to the History Club, and has participated in the High Quiz Bowl. Additionally, she has received academic letter awards, and achieved straight A honor roll. Other activities include band, where she received all-conference honors, and participated in solo and ensemble, and volleyball for four years.
Following graduation next spring, she has plans to attend Concordia University in Mequon, and is still exploring career options.
The community can take great pride in students like Charity Hribar, who use their talents to make the most of their high school years, and prepare themselves to be active, and productive leaders of tomorrow. The members of the club welcome her as Junior Kiwanian, and wish her the best in her future endeavors.
