The West Wendover Mayor Emily Carter, announced a new award at the last City Council Meeting on February 16: the Mayor’s Youth Recognition Award. It will be given out at each council meeting. Recipients of this award are nominated by their teachers, administration or staff at each of the schools. This award will recognizes qualities of good citizenship, character and service. Because of this, it is awarded to kids of all different academic levels. The students who are selected are truly great examples to their peers and the community.
Mayor Emily Carter said, “Youth who feel a connection to their community tend to think more positively about their surroundings, feel safer and often times, exhibit a better attitude towards themselves and those around them. I am excited to bring this to our community with a student recognition night at each city council meeting. I would like to invite all community members to come and celebrate with us as we honor these fabulous students within our community.”
Students from the West Wendover Jr./Sr. High School will be recognized at the first city council meeting, on the 1st Tuesday of the Month, while West Wendover Elementary School students will be recognized at the second city council meeting, the 3rd Tuesday of the Month.
