DAR honors Good Citizens 2014

The Acalanes Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) recently awarded several high school seniors the Good Citizens’ Award. These students are selected based on their ability to demonstrate qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism within their community and schools. 

Good Citizens’ Award Chairperson Barbara Snyder presented DAR Good Citizen pins, certificates of recognition, monetary awards and an American flag flown over the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C. to this year’s winners:  Sara Chen from Las Lomas High School and Linda Lan Phung from Miramonte High School. Also selected, but unable to attend, were Briana Grether from Acalanes High School; McKenna Williams, from Contra Costa Christian High School (her mother Mitzi accepted the award on her behalf); and Marina Han from Campolindo High School.
