The Merrimack Valley YMCA held another recognition program for
some local students involved in volunteer activities. The
Prudential Spirit of Community Awards were created in 1995 to
recognize students in middle and high school grades who have
demonstrated exemplary community service. These prestigious
awards, sponsored by Prudential Financial in partnership with the
National Association of Secondary School Principals are presented
annually on the local, state and national level.
The honorees received plaques from the YMCA and the three
winners representing each branch of the YMCA also received a $100
US Savings Bond donated by Unified Federal Credit Union at
Lawrence General Hospital for the third consecutive year.
State Senator Steven Baddour in representation of Senator Sue
Tucker, delivered a proclamation from the Senate. State
Representative William Lantigua, also representing his colleagues
Barry Finegold and David Torrisi, presented the students with a
proclamation from the House of Representatives. The ceremony was
held in the Kurtz Auditorium at Lawrence General Hospital among
teachers and relatives from Lawrence, Methuen, Andover and North
Andover.
