Two Hope Hall Seniors Receive the “Do the Right Thing” Award

Congratulations to Joe and Paul Conroy who received the “Do the Right Thing” Award virtually this morning in a ceremony broadcast via a Facebook Live.

The award is received through a process in which community members nominate youth for this award, presented by the Rochester City Police, recognizing youth for their bravery, courage and valor. Characteristics and actions for which one might be nominated include striving to make good choices, doing well in school, giving back to the community or demonstrating “turn-around” or improvement in academics.

The two brothers volunteer, helping at a youth baseball training camp in the town of Gates. When the camp lost electricity, Paul and Joe pulled out their phones as flashlights, and stayed with the 8 to 10 year old campers, calming their concerns, until all parents arrived to pick up their children.

Hope Hall is very proud of these two amazing young men, who demonstrated the values Hope Hall always strives to instill.

In case you missed the award ceremony this morning, you can still catch it here.
