The DAR Good Citizen Award rewards individuals who possess good citizenship qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism in their homes, schools and communities. Teachers and peers select the students. Once a student is chosen as the DAR Good Citizen they are invited to participate in the scholarship portion of the program by submitting an essay. This year’s theme was “How Has America Advanced the Cause of Freedom in the Rest of the World?”
The following students were the winners in their school districts: Zoukaa Ghassa, Baldwin-Whitehall; James Weese, Canon-McMillan; William Buerger, Mt. Lebanon; and Logan Burnsworth, Thomas Jefferson. Buerger was selected as the Bethel Fife and Drum Chapter DAR Good Citizen and received a $100 award. Buerger was named an Honorable Mention in the PA State DAR competition.
