Youth Citizenship Award presented to Decorah 8th grader

Vita Domnenko and DAR representative Sarah Nowack

Decorah eighth-grader Vita Domnenko, a student at Decorah Middle School, has received the DAR Youth Citizenship Medal from the National Daughters of the American Revolution.

The DAR Youth Citizenship Medal was established to foster among schoolchildren a greater appreciation of the qualities of citizenship Americans must possess if our country is to remain sovereign and independent.  This medal is presented to a student who exemplifies the qualities of honor, service, courage, leadership, and patriotism.

Vita was chosen for this honor by the teachers at Decorah Middle School.
