Morris Palmer of Hartford, who attends the American School for the Deaf (ASD) in West Hartford, has been selected as one of five high school seniors to receive the Student Volunteer Award from the Kiwanis Club of West Hartford.
The "Stars for Kids" award is given to high school seniors and citizens who have shown a commitment to serving children in the community. Nominees for the award should also "demonstrate a selfless, caring attitude."
The award includes a $500 scholarship and will be presented to the students on Friday, January 29, 2010 at the West Hartford Town Hall Auditorium.
Morris Palmer has been volunteering in the pre-school and elementary school program at ASD for many years. He said, "I am proud to have recently become a citizen of the United States and want to give back to the community as much as I can."
Being deaf has not curbed his commitment to giving back to the school which has helped prepare him for the future.
