SERVICE ABOVE SELF ’ YOUTH AWARDS
The annual " Service Above Self " Youth Awards ceremony was held in December in the Keppel Auditorium at Catawba College . Over 2,000 Rowan-Salisbury students were recognized for contributing over 28,000 volunteer hours of service to others in our community . This is service given by our children without being required to do so - they just simply give because this is what they do . Now that is extraordinary !
