Port Jefferson Middle School sixth-grader Julia Perrotta was named the Rotary Club of Port Jefferson’s “Student of the Month” for October.

A dedicated and exceptional scholar, Julia participates in school clubs, is a member of the student council and is often found to be helping others while upholding her own impressive work standard. She was nominated by her teachers, who touted her as the type of student who can be looked upon as a role model.

Principal Robert Neidig congratulated Julia and challenged her “to continue to take risks and step out of her comfort zone when it comes to her learning” and to continue excelling and accomplishing great things.
