Several students in regional schools recently received the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) medals and certificates at their 2021-’22 awards programs, through the Towamencin Chapter. The awards were established by the National Society DAR.
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 sixth-grader Makayla Lewis
Indian Valley Middle School (Souderton Area School District) eighth-grader Kendall Moyer
St. Mary’s Catholic School (Schwenksville) eight-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 25th 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.
