Local students receive DAR awards
Students honored for good citizenship, honor, service, courage, leadership and patriotism
TOWAMENCIN » Several students in regional schools have recently received the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) medals and certificates at their 2021-22 awards programs, through the Towamencin Chapter of DAR. The awards were established by the National Society DAR.
This spring, six students representing three schools were selected and received the DAR Youth Citizenship Medal and Certificate:
General Nash Elementary School (North Penn School District) fifth-grader Ranjita Pillai and sixthgrader Makayla Lewis
Indian Valley Middle School (Souderton Area School District) eighthgrader Kendall Moyer
St. Mary’s Catholic School (Schwenksville) eighth-grader Ella Delciotto, seventh-grader Carson Close, and sixth-grader
Dennis Armstrong.
The Youth Citizenship award recipients are selected by their school faculty who identify individuals who best demonstrate good citizenship, honor, service, courage, leadership and patriotism.
DAR’s JROTC Medal was awarded in April to North Penn High School ROTC candidate C/LT Col Jacob Grieco. The recipient of this award must have demonstrated loyalty and patriotism and military discipline, and have shown qualities of dependability, good character and leadership ability, as well as be in the upper 25 percent of their ROTC classes and academic subjects.
Letters of congratulations from the Towamencin Chapter DAR were given to each of the students along with the awards and certificates.
