We are so proud to recognize our 2020 school year Student Award Winners!
The Lovis Hero Award recognizes high school aged students who have overcome incredible obstacles to make a difference in their community. The obstacle may be, but not limited to, poverty, mental illness, homelessness, obesity, disability, extreme bullying, abuse, violence.
Students were nominated by a teacher, counselor or caseworker and winners were selected based on impact to the community and sensitivity to those who do not have a voice. Their stories will be videotaped to raise awareness about how young people can make a difference.
