Malibu Woman's Club awards students on Earth Day

By Samantha Bravo · Wed Apr 27 2022

This year, Malibu Woman’s Club invited all fifth-grade students to develop a climate change water conservation public education campaign. Annually, the club chooses the top high school seniors for its scholarship awards, based on academic accomplishments, extracurricular activities, and community service, and this year, on their ideas for water conservation. 

“Congratulations, winners and their parents!” Malibu Woman’s Club President Ayako Yoshida said in an email to The Malibu Times. “Thank you to the dedicated educators of Malibu and the members of MWC.”
