At\u00a0Spencer-Van Etten High School, Akshar recognized\u00a0Luke Simonton, who was described by his school district as a \u201cconsistent, reliable role model and leader.\u201d Luke sets a positive example for the student body and shares his infectious, positive attitude with students and faculty alike. His compassion, perseverance and keen sense of responsibility helped him navigate losing both a friend and a coach within a year. As a senior, Luke kept his cross-country team together as a family and supported them throughout the most difficult times.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, Ryan and his brother received the Breeder Award for breeding the Grand Champion Market Hog at the Tioga County Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senator Fred Akshar stated, “It\u2019s truly a unique experience to be able to shine a light on some of the amazing work and service that\u2019s being done by young people in our community. Whether they\u2019re spending their valuable time with younger students who need a friend or providing leadership to their fellow classmates, it\u2019s important to recognize these bright stars and let their stories be told. In a time when the nation seems so divided, I\u2019m happy to support such a great recognition program that shows the best in our young people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
