Recently, I participated in an assembly at Brockway Elementary School to honor sixth grade student Grace Preston for being named one of Pennsylvania’s top two youth volunteers of 2016 by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards—a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism. Grace has impacted the lives of countless local shelter animals by raising more than $4,000 over the past three years by selling homemade dog treats, cat toys, and flea and tick repellent. Congratulations and best wishes for future success Grace!
