The following are local students who were honored last Thursday at the Do The Right Thing program at District Headquarters of the Lee County school system. They were presented trophies after John McGraw, coordinator with the sponsoring Lee County Sheriff’s Office, called out their names and said why the students were being honored. In all, some 22 students were honored. The following are local students:

Kenny Lynch of Lehigh Acres is a 7th grade student at Oak Hammock Middle School. Kenny found and immediately turned in a very expensive electronic device.

Shannon Vinson of Lehigh Acres is an 8th grade student at Alva Middle School.

Shannon has sincere desire to help around his school. She cleans up the school cafeteria. Without being asked, he walks around picking up trash and wiping tables clean.

Mikala Hingson of Fort Myers is a 6th grade student at Alva Middle School. Mikala found a book bag that contained $25 in cash and expensive electronic devices that included a cellular telephone and iPod. Mikala, without hesitation, turned it in to the front office so that it could be returned to the owner.

Andrew Snarr of Lehigh Acres is a 7th grade student at Alva Middle School and Austin Snarr of Lehigh Acres is an 8th grade student at Alva Middle School. A student at Alva Middle School lost a pet dog. Brothers Andrew and Austin Snarr asked their parents if they could help their fellow student look for the lost dog. Their parents gave them permission and they were off participating in the search. They searched for days. Through it all they went above and beyond the call of duty because they knew their classmate was heart broken over her loss.

Ashley DiCaprio of Lehigh Acres is a 6th grade student at Alva Middle School and Markie Sawyer of Fort Myers is a 6th grade student at Alva Middle School.

Ashley and Markie found a large amount of cash in a classroom. After searching for the owner of the cash, they went to their teacher and turned the money in. It was later discovered that the money belonged to a student who was to use it to pay for the school lunch year.

Christopher Camacho of Lehigh Acres is a 10th grade student at Lehigh Senior High School.

Every day during lunch Christopher gathers un-opened milk cartons from students who do not drink their milk and plan to throw it away. Christopher moves throughout the school cafeteria and distributes these milk cartons to children who do not get any milk or can not afford it.
