The Peachtree

City Commission on Children and Youth is sponsoring a week-long program

aimed at recognizing the volunteer contributions from local youths.

Children's

Week will be celebrated April 22-28, said CCY Coordinator Bernice Wassell.

The activities will include service projects for schools with students

from Peachtree City so they can participate in making their surroundings

a better place, Wassell said.

Also, the CCY

is looking to honor students who have contributed to their community in

significant ways through volunteerism and community service, Wassell said.

Students will be honored at a CCY meeting on May 1, she added.

Local teachers

will be asked to nominate students for the awards. Teachers should receive

nomination forms in the next few weeks, Wassell said.

"We want

to reward students who have performed exceptional community service,"

Wassell said. "We also want to highlight what the schools can to

do contribute to community service projects."

Students from

every grade level all the way through high school will be recognized through

the awards program, Wassell said.

"We're

looking for good citizens who have contributed to community service in

an extraordinary way," Wassell said.
