Senator Fred Akshar visited one more local school this week to continue his “Akshar's All-Stars” district-wide student recognition program.
Each month, Senator Akshar recognizes local students selected by their school districts in the 52nd Senate District who have shown great leadership, compassion, school spirit or improvement amongst their peers.
For each student recognized as an “Akshar All-Star” Senator Akshar presents them with a t-shirt, framed certificate and a challenge coin.
Over the past few months, Akshar has recognized 29 students at Maine-Endwell Middle School, Windsor Central School District, Harpursville Central High School, Tioga Central High School, Vestal Middle School, Oxford High School, Norwich High School, DCMO BOCES, Deposit High School, Newark Valley High School, Union-Endicott High School, Greene High School, Owego Free Academy, Candor High School, Broome-Tioga BOCES, Afton High School, Whitney Point High School, Seton Catholic Central, Binghamton West and East Middle Schools, Chenango Valley High School, Bainbridge-Guilford High School, Hancock High School, Waverly Intermediate School, Spencer Van-Etten High School, Johnson City High School, Chenango Forks High School and Susquehanna Valley High School.
At Valley Heights Christian Academy, Akshar recognized senior Aidan Lowie for his scholastic achievements and his service to his community. Aidan serves as Captain for the soccer and basketball team and is consistently on the honor roll. As an Intern at the Impact Project in Sherburne, Aidan assists this organization that helps provide major home repairs for low income, elderly and handicapped homeowners. Aidan also leads the elementary Sunday School class at his church and enjoys participating in sports, being active in his youth group and spending time with family and friends.
Senator Fred Akshar said, "This is an amazing opportunity for us to meet and recognize outstanding young people doing wonderful things in their community and schools throughout the 52nd Senate District. Whether they're in 2nd grade or a senior in high school, we want to bring attention to those students who are making a difference in their own lives and in the lives of those around them. They inspire us all by showing us the good that exists in our communities.”
