On Wednesday, March 11 from 5 to 6:30 p.m., Greenwich Public Schools (GPS) students will be presented with Community Service Awards for participation in service activities. The awards ceremony will be held at Greenwich High School in the Performing Arts Center, followed by a reception in the Galleria.
“The Community Service Awards are an honored tradition in our school district, recognizing students who have given so much of their time, energy and efforts to improve their school and broader communities. I am filled with so much pride when I see and hear about the impact that these impressive students have made,” said Superintendent Dr. Toni Jones.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Toni Jones, Board of Education Chair Peter Bernstein, and First Selectman Fred Camillo will present awards to the elementary, middle and high school student recipients. Former GPS Superintendent of Schools (1976 – 1989), Dr. Ernest Fleishman will present the Fleishman Award for Community Service to a high school student that has made outstanding contributions to their community. The students will each receive State Citations in recognition of their accomplishments. The student award recipients and program participants are:
