President's Volunteer Service Award Goes to Nicholas Wheeler

For his exemplary community service, Nicholas Wheeler, Grade 8, has been selected to receive President Barack Obama's Volunteer Service Award. The award, which recognizes Americans of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country, was presented by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program on behalf of President Barack Obama. Nicholas participated in the Spirit of Community program this year as a representative of Heritage Academy and Beaufort County, SC. Recipients of this award vividly demonstrate that young people across America are making remarkable contributions to the health and vitality of their communities. These honorees practice a lesson we hope all young people, as well as adults, will emulate. Congratulations, Nicholas!
