Lisbon – On Thursday, March 12, Principal Rick Green of Philip W. Sugg Middle School in Lisbon, presented three students with the 2009 Elliot M. Warren Citizenship Award. Recipients of this year’s award were Monica Austin, grade 6, daughter of Amy and Patrick Austin of Lisbon Falls; Zoe Mullen, grade 7, daughter of Barbara and Neil Mullen of Lisbon; and Aaron Halls, grade 8, son of Laurie and Michael Halls of Lisbon. “Elliot Warren was an exemplary young man who attended Lisbon Public School until his untimely death in November 1999,” shared Green. “Elliot’s strength and courage will be remembered by all who came in contact with him. This award is a tribute to Elliot and the fine citizen that he was.”

The award is designed to be given to one outstanding citizen from each grade; nominated by students and chosen by each grade level team. “At Philip W. Sugg Middle School, we recognize students for their citizenship through this award. The award is named after a middle school student who passed away during the 1999-2000 school year. Elliot was a fine example to all what a good citizen should be,” commented Green.

Students are recognized in the following areas: Caring, polite and helpful - Students demonstrate genuine concern for other students and staff; demonstrate good manners in class and all around the school; and provide assistance to students and staff. Hard-working and resourceful – Students demonstrate effort in doing class work and homework; and demonstrate respect toward students and staff. Respectful – Students demonstrate respect toward students and staff.

“The process for selection of the recipients is two-fold. Fellow students and teachers offer nominations,” according to Green.
