Mayor Carter introduced a new award at the regular City Council Meeting on Tuesday, February 16, 2016.  The Mayor’s Youth Recognition Award will be given out at each City Council Meeting.  Recipients of this award are nominated by their teachers, administration or staff at each of the schools.  This award recognizes qualities of good citizenship, character and service.  Because of this, it is awarded to kids of all different academic levels.  The students who are selected are truly great examples to their peers and the community. 

Mayor Carter said, “Youth who feel a connection to their community tend to think more positively about their surroundings, feel safer and often times, exhibit a better attitude towards themselves and those around them.  I am excited to bring this to our community with a student recognition night at each City Council Meeting.  I would like to invite all community members to come and celebrate with us as we honor these fabulous students within our community.”

West Wendover Elementary School students will be recognized at the second council meeting (3^rd Tuesday of the Month) and students from the West Wendover Jr./Sr. High School will be recognized at the first council meeting of the month (1^st Tuesday of the Month).
