Gold Awardees:  Nicole, Paige, and Dolly

Paige P  Paige P. (right-- and yes she and Nicole are sisters) is also a biology major at Syracuse University. Because of her own experience as a sibling of a child with cancer,  Paige was concerned about these siblings.

Dolly P  
 Dolly P. of Remsen is a senior at Remsen Central High.  She worked with the Remsen Performing and Visual Arts Center to make the building handicap accessible so all residents of her community could enjoy the arts.
