VERGENNES — Kaitlyn Little, daughter of Chrystal Little of Vergennes, has received this year’s DAR Good Citizen’s Award. Each year a Vergennes Union High School senior is chosen for the award. Initially, faculty members nominate three seniors. Then the senior class elects one of those three as their Good Citizen.

The DAR Good Citizen’s Award recognizes a student that possesses the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism to an outstanding degree. This student has the opportunity to apply for a scholarship as well.

The award is sponsored by the local Daughters of the American Revolution, Seth Warner-Rhoda Farrand Chapter and is intended to encourage and reward the qualities of good citizenship.
