January 2024 Students of the Month
The Morrison Rotary Club is proud to recognize Morrison High School seniors Carly Boonstra and Chase Newman as our January Students of the Month.
 
Carly is the daughter of Thomas and Donna Boonstra. She is a member of the National Honor Society, Student Council and she is a statistician for the wrestling team. She assists with blood drives, and planning student activities such as dances and holiday events. Her hobbies are reading, working out, playing games and spending time with family and friends. She loves to spend time fishing and camping at her family’s cabin in Ptown. Her future plans include attending Sauk Valley College or Illinois State University to major in accounting or business.
 
Chase is the son of Brooke and Mathew Newman. Chase has been playing basketball and football since he was about 5. He also runs track. He is a member of the National Honor Society. Recently he helped move furniture and products from the Food Pantry in the Methodist Church over to their new location by Kunes. Chase mentioned that Dr. Nicky Eustace from Morrison Community Hospital, who is the team doctor for the football team, really had an impact on his future plans. After talking to her he would like to pursue a degree in Physical Therapy at a college that specializes in that program.
