Sha’Camryn Malone, a fifth grade student at Alice Coachman Elementary School, received the 2012 Young Citizenship Award from the Exchange Club of Albany on April 19 at a special luncheon at the Club.

Members of Sha’Camryn’s family, Alice Coachman principal Pat Victor, and her teacher, Jordan Cambron, watched as Exchange Club President Ray Hinman and Committee Chairman Barry Davis presented the high honors student with a framed certificate, $50 and a thesaurus.

Sha’Camryn was chosen for the award from among all other fifth graders nominated in Dougherty and Lee county public and private schools. The award which is presented annually, recognizes excellence in citizenship, attitude, academics, service, and leadership. Superintendent Dr. Joshua Murfree was the guest speaker.
