DiMartino and committee members Jay and Kelly Marion, reviewed a number of outstanding nominations for students this year and selected the six awardees for their service above and beyond in their community.

Representatives from Pittsfield High School and Taconic High School presented each of the awardees to the club at a luncheon, held on Jan. 17 at the Berkshire Plaza Hotel in Pittsfield. Also, in attendance to recognize the student achievements were Dr. Jason McCandless, superintendent of the Pittsfield Public Schools,Sarah Maddelena and Katie Place from Taconic High School Guidance, and Janice Barry and Amy Higgins fro Pittsfield High School Guidance
