Fifty-two students honored with Presidential Volunteer Service Award
Fifty-two students were honored with the Presidential Volunteer Service Award.
Coordinated by Port Jefferson resident Jackie Hull, the recognition is
given to each student for their active volunteer service of between 50
and 100 hours in the community. They were presented with a certificate
at a ceremony attended by members of the Board of Education, school
community and families for their sustained commitment to civic
participation throughout the year.
The district has participated in the PVSA since 2010 when it started
with one student earning the award. This year’s honorees were recognized
with a combined total of more than 7,300 volunteer hours for the
2017-18 school year.
“These same students typically are very involved in school as well at
the community and participate in honors classes, music programs and
sports,” said Hull. “The fact that they take time out of their very busy
days to help others in [the] community should be commended. I’m glad to
have the PVSA to show our appreciation for all their hard work.”
