Community Service Awards & Recipients

The Community Service Award for Outstanding Leadership is given to those students who not only exhibit a long term and unfailing commitment to a specific service organization, but they also have demonstrated strong leadership skills and assumed more responsibility as they grow in their service commitment.  These students receive a plaque and their names will be included on the perpetual plaque located near the Upper School Office.

• Junior, Annabelle Lawton for all of her work with giving back to the community, but especially for her work with the iCan Bike program.  The goal of iCan Bike is to teach individuals with disabilities to ride a conventional two wheel bicycle and become lifelong independent riders.
