Hastings students earn Citizenship Awards

The Hastings Police Department has established a  “Citizenship Award”  for Hastings area students who demonstrate not only excellent citizenship, but also take extra steps to help and assist their teachers and fellow students. The new initiative is part of the department’s partnership with the schools, Hastings Police Chief Jeff Pratt said.

 

Students will be selected from the Hastings Middle School and each Elementary School, including St. Rose,  who will receive a certificate and will then be taken to lunch by an officer of the Hastings Police Department. Pratt, Sergeant Kris Miller, Officer Josh Sensiba, and Deputy Chief Dale Boulter host the students.  

 

Superintendent Carrie Duits said the new program fits in perfectly with the school system’s emphasis on positive behaviors. Students being rewarded for positive behavior encourages citizenship and being good role models, she said. “It also strengthens the relationship of the schools with the community.  The schools promote service to our community, police officers serve us; together, this ties it all together,” she said.

 

The students who received the awards are:  Christopher Espinal Lopez  from Southeastern Elementary; Alex Miller, Northeastern Elementary;

Bradley Riley, Central Elementary; Rory Campbell, Middle School, Carlos Gonzalez Perez; Star School and Brant O’Heran from St. Rose.

Three students were presented their awards last week and taken out to lunch. The other three will be presented their awards and taken out to lunch this week, Pratt said. The award will be presented every marking period for the respective schools.
