Northampton DAR recognizes Holmes & Price as Good Citizen Award Winners

The Northampton County Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution met on Saturday, January 21, 2023. During the meeting area seniors Vashti Holmes from Northampton High School and Elizabeth Price from Broadwater Academy were recognized as Good Citizen Award Winners. These students exemplify the characteristics of a good citizen: dependability, service, patriotism, and leadership. They read the essays they wrote and shared some of the activities that they are currently involved in and some of their future plans. Vashti and Elizabeth were each presented with a certificate, a pin, and a small monetary award.
