North Main gives Do the Right Thing honors to latest recipients
MONROE North Main Elementary School presented its Do the Right Thing awards to the latest group of recipients during the schools yearend awards assembly last Friday.
The Do the Right Thing award was named to honor Highland Mills native Christian Lopez, who did the right and honorable thing by returning Yankees shortstop Derek Jeters 3,000th career hit in July 2011.
Lopez visited the school last fall to talk to students about the importance of good decision making and always doing the right thing, especially if its not always popular. He stressed they should apply these traits in all they do.
This past February, he returned to the school when North Main formally launched its Do the Right Thing student recognition program. Lopez received the first award last fall.
The recognition program will resume this fall.
