High School Students Receive National Recognition: Anne Nygard (pictured), 17, of Boise High School has been named one of Idaho's top two youth volunteers of 2018 by
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism. As a State Honoree, Anne will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion and an all-expense-paid trip in late April to Washington, D.C., where she will join the top two honorees from each of the other states and the District of Columbia for four days of national recognition events. During the trip, 10 students will be named America's top youth volunteers of 2018.
Anne, a high school junior, has collected more than 300 pairs of gently-used running shoes for refugee students in Boise and hosted events to distribute the shoes and teach the recipients about running. Anne traces her concern for refugees to an event she attended when she was 9. "To this day, I remember the tears of many of these people from the Congo and Vietnam as they told their stories," she said. "Those who come here have fled horrors that we hope to never experience in our lives. I believe the least we can do is be kind to them."
In addition to Nygard, Kayla Watson (pictured), a junior at Timberline High School, has been named a Finalist in The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. Watson started a club that paired high school tutors with young refugees from a local elementary school, providing the kids with role models and academic support during the stressful transition to an American school.
