Some lucky students in Thompson might be rewarded for their efforts in the community.

The Manitoba School Boards Association is currently accepting nominations for their Student Citizenship Award. Associate Director Heather Demetrioff says they are interested in students involved in their community in a leadership role, or simply showing what it means to be a good citizen.

The award is open to any full-time student from kindergarten to grade 12. There are seven awards given each year. One to a student in each of the 6 geographic region, and 1 student for the province.
