Students honored for good deeds

Two students at Conewago Elementary School were recently recognized for their efforts to be good school citizens and classmates.

The students, third-grader Reed Douglas and Rishi Mody, a kindergarten student, were both honored at lunch in front of the entire student body as part of the Do the Right Thing program.

Reed was recognized for organizing a group of boys to play with a kindergarten student. Monique Portser, the school staff member who nominated Reed for the award, praised Reed's kindness, inclusivity and ability to serve as a role model.

Rishi was nominated by kindergarten teacher Karrine Brooks. Rishi noticed that a classmate looked scared in the bus line and told an adult, leading to the discovery that the student was in the wrong line.

Reed and Rishi were recognized by the school administration, the police, and the monthly business sponsor, Trefz & Bowser Funeral Home, and they were rewarded with a gift card to Target; a Do The Right Thing T-shirt, pencil and certificate; and a Subway coupon.

Any adult over the age of 18 can nominate a child for recognition through the Do the Right Thing program. For more information, contact Angela Durantine at angela@ldctc.org.
