Suffolk Legislator Jim Mazzarella joined with fellow Rotary Club members, Dr. Fred Miller and Josephine Piech, in recognizing William Floyd High School’s Rafay Cheema as Rotary Student of the Month.

“Rafay is a wonderful young man and an exemplary student at William Floyd High School,” the Shirley and the Mastics Rotarians said, noting his accomplishments. He is a member of the school’s Medical Club and is a volunteer with his local EMT and Ambulance Company where he participates in numerous emergency service workshops and fundraisers. Rafay maintains high grades while being involved in numerous after-school activities such as Youth & Government, Future Business Leaders of America, the Debate Club, and STEP Program. His grades afford him the opportunity to be part of the National Honor Society, Science Honor Society, and the Business Honor Society. Rafay plans to pursue a career in the field of medicine.

"It was a pleasure meeting him and his mom. We wish Rafay the best of luck in his bright future," Mazzarella said.
