ALTON, ILLINOIS - An Alton Middle School student has been caught in the act -- of doing the right thing.
AMS seventh grader Betsy Papin was honored with a Do The Right Thing award during a recognition ceremony on February 25. Papin was nominated by AMS social worker Megan Haycraft and teacher Brian Zurek for her participation in various community service products, such as canned food drives, Shop with a Cop, and a project of her own invention, Operation Dress, which ensured that all the female students at Alton Middle School would have access to dresses for middle school dances. Papin will be interviewed about her community service efforts on WBGZ this Thursday, March 13, at 3:45pm.
