Book Awards highlight student achievement
Old Rochester Regional Tri-Town Education Foundation board members announced the 2013 recipients of the Lighthouse Book Awards.
The awards recognize students for outstanding academic, cultural, and civic achievements. Each student was presented with a certificate of achievement and a $25 gift certificate to The Bookstall in Marion in front of the entire student body this week.
The ORR Tri-Town Education Foundation was founded in 2007 to raise an endowment to support the tri-town’s local public schools. Its vision is to enrich the educational, cultural and civic experience for all students, enhance each student’s success in school, the community, and in life and to encourage academic excellence, innovation and creative thinking.
Students are selected by the teachers and principals of their respective schools.
