Huron High School senior, Hannah Blackwell, was
recently awarded the President's Volunteer Service Award for completing more
than 200 hours of community service during her high school career. The award is given to students through the
Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program, the nation’s largest youth
recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service. Hannah received a certificate and letter from
President Barack Obama in which the President stated “While government can open
more opportunities for us to serve our communities, it is up to each of us to
seize those opportunities. Thank you for
your devotion to service and for doing all you can to shape a better tomorrow
for our great Nation.” Hannah is the
first Huron High School student to receive this award.
