Prudential Spirit awardees to donate winnings

Two Jefferson County students were awarded Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, an honor which usually includes an expense paid  trip to Washington, D.C.

The national assembly, however, became a virtual event due to  COVID-19, but the unused funds were given to the honorees to donate to a nonprofit of his or her choice. 

The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards are given out annually to one middle level and one high school level student in each state based on volunteer community service. Both students this year were from the  21st Century Programs at Boulder Elementary and Jefferson High School.
