St. Michael's College Book Award given to BFA-Fairfax student
Caitlin M. Minor, daughter of Steve & Julie Minor, and a student at Bellows Free Academy in Fairfax, was named the 2009 recipient of the St. Michael's College Scholarship and Service Book Award. The award recognizes students who demonstrate a commitment to volunteerism and leadership through community service. St. Michael's was founded on the belief that serving others is part of its Catholic tradition, and through the award, seeks to honor those who demonstrate the true spirit of volunteerism.
Award recipients, named at schools throughout the country, are high school juniors who are inductees of the National Honor Society or an equivalent school-sponsored honors organization. They must demonstrate a commitment to service activities in high school or community organizations, taking leadership roles in these activities.
Minor was presented the book "First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers" (HarperCollins 2000) by Loung Ung, a 1993 St. Michael's College graduate who has become a widely acclaimed author.
