The Rotary Club of Ceres and Blaker Kinser Junior High School recognized eighth-grader Linda Heng, as a Rotary “Student of the Month” on Friday.

School staff members view Linda as reliable, kind and willing to support others. Her positive attitude, strong work ethic and goal of becoming a teacher make her a respected and valued member of the Blaker Kinser community.

Linda demonstrates a strong commitment to academics, leadership and citizenship. As an honors student at Blaker Kinser, she excels in all subjects, with math being her favorite due to clarity and ease. Her dedication to her studies is evident in her enrollment in challenging courses and her active participation in student government where she helps shape her school’s culture.

Linda’s involvement in the PHASTjv club further highlights her sense of responsibility as she works to raise awareness about student health and the dangers of drug use. This role allows her to take on a leadership position that positively impacts her peers and the broader school community.

Outside of her academic and leadership roles, Linda’s commitment to her community shines through her volunteerism. She regularly helps at her family’s business, developing a strong work ethic and a sense of responsibility from an early age.

Linda’s aspirations to become a teacher are fueled by her passion for helping others and the positive influence of her favorite teacher, Robin Johnson.

In her free time, Linda balances her busy schedule by engaging in hobbies such as cooking and listening to music, which offer her a creative outlet and relaxation. Linda embodies a well-rounded and dedicated student.
