As part of a new program at the Bridgewater-Raritan High School instituted by new principal Brett Charleston, at least one student is chosen every week to be honored for his or her contributions to the community at some point that week.

In this new column, we will honor those students each week, with the information included in Charleston's weekly principal's column, on the school's website.

Congratulations to each week's honorees!

• Amanda Statkevich—(nominated by Lydia Pinto) Statkevich displayed honesty and integrity when she turned in an IPOD that she found in the locker room.
• Tyler Stevens—(nominated by Scott Linzer) Stevens demonstrated
  kindness and compassion when he noticed that another student dropped a notebook in the hallway. Stevens, seeing this, picked it up and caught up with the student to return it.
