Johnson Students Receive Public

L-R Christopher Mays, Latifa Simmons, Demena Hugue, Moneshia Morant, Alexis
King, Cu’Quavia Mitchell, Micheal Walker
Eight Sol C. Johnson
scholars, from Christopher
Mays, Latifa Simmons,
Demeria Hugue, Moneshia
Morant, Alexis King,
Cu’Quavia Mitchell,
Micheal Walker, and
(Columbia Glennding, not
present), were awarded the
Jefferson Award for Public
Service throughout this
school year. Each received
an award from August of
2011 to March 2012.
Each of these students
has given numerous hours of
their time giving back and
making a difference in the
community.
“I would have never
asked to be rewarded for
community service because
even though I’m giving back
to my community in a way it
gives back to me through
meeting new people, and
understand what it means to
help the environment” states
Simmons, a senior.
The Sol C. Johnson High
Jefferson Awards organiza
tion honors one student each
month with their “Nominate
a Shooting Star Student”
months.
This is where faculty
and staff receive nomination
form to recognize a student
they feel has been doing out
standing work within their
school and community. The
students are recognized
within their third blocks with
a certificate and pin.
“Although all my peers
who have made a change and
did community service can’t
receive this award it is still
an honor to let the few that
was nominate know that we
do appreciate them and all
they do in our community
and at our school with our
organization and on their
own. Many believe that
“community service” is just
a requirement needed to
graduate and it’s not fun and
it’s boring, but throughout
this school year so much of
my peers have been receiv
ing information from our
“Get More by Giving More”
help desk this year. It’s just
an honor to award my peers
with these awards each
month” states Shanteria
Hugue, Sol C. Johnson High
