Hannah Dearman and Mallory Lohnes are Southwestern Middle School’s recipients for this year’s Triple “C” award.

The faculty nominates students who have shown “Character, Courage, and Commitment” throughout their middle school years. Hannah and Mallory were honored at the Southwestern Middle School awards assembly on June 4.

The Triple “C” award is given by the state Attorney General’s office. One of the ways to encourage young people is by continuing the Triple “C” awards program which recognizes the “Character, Courage, and Commitment” of New York’s students.

Southwestern Middle School officials said Hannah and Mallory have demonstrated these Triple “C”s.

They are role models for other students and have shown a positive attitude and kindness toward their peers. Both Hannah and Mallory are honor students and have received several awards during their middle school careers.
