This year the Kennedy Library will recognize up to 100 middle school students from across Massachusetts for the difference they have made in their communities through service projects. (For complete information on the award program please see the attached (pdf).)
The award is given to students who are nominated by teachers, principals and other community leaders for contributions they have made to their neighborhood, town or community. The students will receive a personalized certificate at an award ceremony to be held at the Library on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 4:00 p.m.
Projects for which students received awards last year included helping fellow students with disabilities, working at local food pantries and senior centers, organizing recycling projects, raising funds for autism and childhood cancer research, and fundraising for children in Uganda and Haiti.
