'Terrific Kids' recognized for volunteer efforts

Talk about it

Sixth graders at Lincoln, Voyager, Zion and Washington elementary schools in Alexandria and Garfield Elementary School were recently named Terrific Kids.

Terrific Kids is an elementary program of Kiwanis International. Kids who improve themselves and do good things for others in school, at home and in the community are recognized with a Certificate of Achievement.

Top achievers also receive a business award from one of several business sponsors. Their pictures are on display at the Viking Plaza Mall.
