A current ninth-grader at Lower Dauphin High School was recognized by Lower Dauphin Communities That Care and Hummelstown Police for a good deed.

Christian Grow was honored for his actions as an eighth-grader on the Lower Dauphin Middle School track and field team. During a team meet, he was in the lead and was about to lap a slower student who appeared to be struggling to finish the race. As he passed her, he offered words of encouragement and demonstrated tremendous sportsmanship.

For his efforts, he was rewarded with a gift card to Target; a Do The Right Thing T-shirt, pencil and certificate; and a Subway coupon. The October program sponsor was Commonwealth Financial Associates. Alecia Cobb, a sixth-grader at the middle school was also recognized in October.

The Do the Right Thing program recognizes students in the Lower Dauphin community who have distinguished themselves through their accomplishments, attitude or outstanding efforts. For more information, contact Angela Durantine at adurantine@ldsd.org.
