Student Community Helpers Honored at Heroes and Helpers 2022
They’ve been involved, formally and informally, in school and peer leadership activities. Some are student council representatives, Safety Patrol members, Bus Helpers, Classroom Helpers, Student Ambassadors, and Peer Mediators.
They are role models and mentors, setting a good example for others to follow. These kids are known to help staff in the schools, provide motivation and guidance to classmates, and to offer kindness, compassion, and a cheerful word to all they meet throughout the day. They are often thought of as the unofficial school good will ambassadors, bringing smiles to all they meet throughout the day.
And almost every single nomination mentioned the word “positive”, which says something about their attitudes while they manage all of this.
Chief Raymond Hayducka said, “It’s a pleasure to recognize these 12 students for their outstanding efforts. There are over 10,000 students in the district and these young men and women were chosen because they have made a huge positive impact in their school or community. We applaud their efforts.”
Each honoree was given a framed certificate of achievement, a Target gift card, and their own personal police officer to accompany them through the store on their shopping spree. The program was funded by a partnership between Target, the two South Brunswick Police Department unions, the PBA and the FOP, the South Brunswick School District Administrators, and Noor Ul Iman School.
Here are the 12 students that were recognized and the schools that nominated them:
