End of the year school awards are a popular part of elementary, middle and high school traditions, because children love to be rewarded for not only their hard work academically, but also their character and efforts outside of the classroom.

In the next issue of Hmong Times we will be recognizing some of the Top Hmong Students from local Twin Cities high schools.

The Hmong Times’ Student Recognition Program is designed to recognize graduating seniors for their exemplary academic efforts, community service, citizenship, athletics, volunteer service, etc. If students are nominated for a reason besides academics, they should have demonstrated at least average academic effort, good school attendance and good discipline.

Things to consider when recommending a graduating senior for recognition would include, but not be limited to students with outstanding academics as well as extra effort, character, leadership, and perfect attendance.

If you have a senior that is graduating this year from high school and would like to recognize them for their accomplishments please complete the following information and submit it for inclusion in the June 20^th issue of Hmong Times in the Student Recognition Program.
