CSD Students Receive Jefferson Awards!

City of Newark Jefferson Awards Recognize Outstanding Community Service Projects in Christina Schools

On May 13, Newark City Mayor Vance Funk presented numerous Jefferson Awards for the Youth Service Challenge to students and schools in the Christina School District, and also honored two projects to be nominated for national recognition. Those projects were the "Send Nasai to School" project undertaken by students at Newark High School Global Perspectives Club, and the "Lots of Love" project created by Downes Elementary School fourth grader Nichole Hemphill.

The focus of the Youth Service Challenge is to recognize outstanding youth service projects that help make our world a better place. Participants can also share their stories of service, get templates for various types of projects, and learn from other students working on similar issues.
