Description:
Congratulations to ExCel Award winners Nettie Parsons and Aidan Moeller, who were selected as two of the students this year. ExCEL—Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership—is a unique recognition award that’s presented annually since 1996 to high school juniors that are active in League-sponsored activities, are leaders in their schools and demonstrate a strong commitment to community service.
Not only is Aidan the local nominee, but it was announced last week that he is one of only 18 junior boys from across the entire state of Minnesota to be awarded the statewide ExCEL award. He will receive his statewide honor during the girl’s state basketball tournament on March 15 th at Williams Arena and will be on TV during halftime of the 2AA state championship game. Congratulations to AAA winners Chloe Sargent and Max Magnus. The Triple "A" Award (Academics, Arts, and Athletics) honors high school seniors throughout Minnesota who have a 3.0 or higher grade point average and participate in Minnesota State High School League sponsored athletic and fine arts activities. Each nominee fills out an application, writes several essays, and gets a letter of recommendation from a school staff member. |
