Nominated by Morgan Elementary, Hammonds received a medal and certificate from Cindy Byrd, member of the Paducah chapter of the DAR, for his contributions to his school and community.
The DAR Youth Citizenship Medal was established to foster a greater appreciation of the qualities of American citizenship among schoolchildren. Schools and service organizations may nominate one student per grade in grades 5-11.
“Alex shows leadership by setting a good example for others,” said DAR’s Byrd. “He makes good and honorable choices in and out of the classroom. He truly exhibits the qualities of a DAR Youth Citizen.”
