Youth Contributors of the Year
Houghton High School
Stella Wickstrom, Annika Peterson, Mikko Salmi & Emilee DeForge
This group was awarded for giving back to the community while creating a new event for Communities That Care program. This event was to raise funds for teen suicide awareness and mental health programs for pre-teens and teens. They had a semi formal dance at the Dee stadium that raised $1300 and it will be an event that they hope will continue with future students.
As busy Seniors and filled with extracurricular activities these youth showed that they can still take time away from their already overpacked schedules to promote something that make all the difference is peers' life.
Congratulations, to this great group of students that are the FUTURE of our community. Well done and BRAVO on your academic year, athletic careers and serving our community!
