HYDE PARK, NY—Senator Sue Serino (R, C, I—Hyde Park) was joined by local high school students in her District Office on Tuesday, May 26, 2015, where she presented them with the NYS Senate Youth Leadership Recognition Awards.

“It’s clear that each of these students has an inherent drive to lead,” said Senator Serino. “ Their dedication and energy make them invaluable assets to our communities and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to recognize them as such. We are proud to count them as sons and daughters of the 41^st Senate District.”
