ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Ten local students, from the city to the suburbs, will be honored at the first Do the Right Thing awards ceremony of the school year on Thursday.
The students, who range from pre-kindergarten to seniors in high school, will receive their awards at 10:30 a.m. at the Public Safety Building. They are being recognized for their bravery during emergencies, giving back to the community, and other good deeds that have made an impact. News10NBC’s Emily Putnam will emcee the ceremony.
