57 students and teachers will be rewarded for their outstanding acts of humanitarianism and community service.
The Humanitarian Community Service Awards is one of several programs aimed in supporting character education in schools. Selected by their guidance counselors, teachers, and principals, these local students and teachers have demonstrated extraordinary acts of kindness, compassion, and service in their communities and to those less fortunate than themselves. Independent judges from the Mercer County community will review the nominations and select winners from three different catergories: individuals, groups, and adults. Winners will receive a plaque and a gift certificate.
