Council recognizes Stony Point students behind Round Rock Nutrition and proclaims awareness months
Summary
Round Rock City Council presented a special recognition to students who started the nonprofit Round Rock Nutrition and proclaimed May 2025 as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and Muscular Dystrophy Association Month.
The Round Rock City Council publicly recognized four Stony Point High School seniors for creating a student-led nonprofit, Round Rock Nutrition, and issued two proclamations declaring May 2025 as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and Muscular Dystrophy Association Month.
Mayor Craig Morgan read a letter of recognition for students Amir Usman, Mateo Espinosa, Evan Galloway and Abigail Gvarquesi, noting the student group’s goals to educate the public about nutrition and to raise funds for organizations that provide healthy meals. The mayor’s remarks said Round Rock Nutrition reported about 20,000 interactions and engagement with more than 2,000 students in its first six months.
Representatives of the student group spoke briefly about outreach, social media and partnerships with local businesses and community organizations. “Our main goal with this campaign was to spread knowledge about nutrition and to inform the people of Round Rock about good nutrition,” a student representative said.
Council members offered congratulations and urged the students to stay involved locally. Council Member Fleming and others commended the students’ initiative.
The council also adopted proclamations: one recognizing Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and urging motorists and motorcyclists to exercise mutual respect and safe driving practices, and another declaring May 2025 Muscular Dystrophy Association Month and promoting the Fire Department’s “Fill the Boot” fund-raising campaign to support MDA programs and research.
Chris Moore of the Water Cycles Motorcycle Club briefed the council on motorcycle safety concerns in Texas, highlighting left-turn crashes and distracted driving as leading causes of fatalities. A Muscular Dystrophy Association representative spoke about how Fill the Boot proceeds support research and care for people with neuromuscular diseases.
These recognition items do not create policy but offer formal civic acknowledgement and encouragement of the student nonprofit and community safety and health campaigns.
