#MILFORD CT – Devon Rotary held its semi-annual Service Above Self awards breakfast on Wednesday, May 13th, 2015 at the Bridge House Restaurant in Milford, CT.  The awardees are Joseph Romick-Barrell from Jonathan Law High School, Monica Capriglione from Platt Tech, Jamiah Bennett from Lauralton Hall, and Emma Bromley from Foran High School. Guidance Counselors Barbara Kovacs, Louise Wade, and Sue Fracker were on hand to support and introduce the awardees.

 

The Dodie Ireland Memorial Service Above Self Awards recognize students for their commitment to service to their high school as well as to their home community.  The students are selected by the awards committee at their high school, and then recognized at an Awards Breakfast where they are presented with a certificate and a $100 award.  The Devon Rotary recognizes high school juniors in the Spring and high school seniors in the Fall.  They have been sponsoring this award program since 2000.
