Burnsville High School students earn national awards for community service impact
Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 is pleased to announce that 122 Burnsville High School students are being recognized by the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA) and InnerView in the sixth annual community service awards.
This program, open to all U.S. students, has been designed to connect student community service activities, skill development, and commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to transform our world. The Kroger Co. is presenting the fourth annual Zero Hero Awards to students for taking action to help create communities free of hunger and waste.
Students from Burnsville High School delivered the most impact for SDG 4-Quality Education. With a collective impact of 10,130 community service hours this school year, Burnsville High School earned the Emerald Award.
"What a fabulous group to lift up; these purposeful students are taking action to create a better tomorrow for their communities and the world,” says Kristine Sturgeon, CEO of InnerView Technologies. “High school students have a strong perspective on the most challenging issues and needs facing our communities. They have given us hope as we see a measured increase in breadth and depth of volunteerism by these local leaders and global citizens.”
The three-tier award program recognizes a range of student achievement: Merit for 25 hours, Honor for 40 hours and Ambassador for 100 hours of service this school year and special recognition for a focus on Zero Hunger and Zero Waste.
Additionally, several students were awarded with the Presidential Youth Service Award. The President’s Volunteer Service Award is an opportunity to honor the most outstanding volunteers and recognize the impact they make. This award honors individuals whose service positively impacts communities in every corner of the nation and inspires those around them to take action, too.
