These awards recognize special students who not only excel academically but have also made significant contributions to our community through their leadership in volunteer time, actions, talents, and dedication. These honorees selected serve as role models for compassion and service, as they demonstrated enthusiasm and motivation in the areas of community service, charitable support, civic leadership, and creativity in service:

At one time, technology was simply considered a backdrop to our workplaces and daily life. Now it’s, perhaps, the most significant component that’s interwoven into the fabric of how we work and live each and every day. So it would only stand to reason that the Pelham Civic Association and Pelham Schools’ Counseling Office host a Career Workshop on “Technology,” helping students understand career options in this dynamic sector as they begin thinking about college and the world beyond Pelham.

The Pelham Civic Association will be selling raffle tickets throughout the town starting on September 8th, raising funds to fuel their award-winning programs.

“It’s hard to find a better town-wide event like this that brings together the entire community, across generations and schools.”

Special kudos go out to George Brescia, known as “Stylist to the Stars”, and author of Change Your Clothes, Change Your Life: Because You Can't Go Naked.

“It was ‘politics aside’ as the panelists displayed a spirit of camaraderie, focusing solely on the students. They provided the well-attended workshop with numerous ways to get involved… and even encouraged them to run for office. It was also clearly explained to the students that once the elections are over the real task at hand is actually governing.”

In the true sense of the "Olympic Spirit" the Pelham Civic Association hosted its 30th Summer Olympics Day on Saturday June 3rd at Glover Field In Pelham. A huge turnout from Kindergarten through the 5th Grade flocked the entire field and participated in organized fun activities and competitive events, with exuberant camaraderie and friendship, all supervised by the Pelham Civic Summer Olympics Committee and its volunteers.

For the 28th consecutive year, the Pelham Civic Association presented their Community Awards to four local high school students who demonstrate enthusiasm and motivation in the areas of community service, charitable support, civic leadership, and creativity in service.
