For 33 years, Colorado Youth Citizenship Award, Denver Chapter, has been recognizing approximately two students from each public middle school in Denver for outstanding citizenship in home, school and community. Honorees receive a banquet honoring their achievements, a certificate of merit, a guided tour, and a U.S. savings bond provided by the Kiwanis Club of Denver.

This year in the Johnson and Wales banquet facilities April 26, President Jack Welch presided over 132 guests at red, white and blue decorated tables. After the Pledge of Allegiance, the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, the invocation and the serving of dinner, guest speaker Rep. Andrew "Andy" Kerr encouraged students to remain inquisitive, investigate for themselves and use that information to make their own decisions. As awardees came on stage, Dr. Phil Moeller celebrated their achievements and board member David Squire presented the bonds as each left the stage.

Honorees were: Bryant Webster: Carlos Balderrama and Jorge Chavez; Grant: Morgan Craig and Ethan David; Grant Ranch: Kieu Phen and Ariana Robles; Hamilton: Matthew Brown and Mohira Ashurova; Henry: Katie Hilton and Jakeob Hernandez; Kepner: Nohemi Almaraz-Quinones; Lake: Ximena Guiterrez and Krystee Trejo; Martin Luther King Jr.: Demi McGaughy and Jahnette Epperson; Merrill: Asawer Alhilo and Troy Fangmeier; Rachel Noel: Marlene Palomar and Diana Vacio; William Roberts: Beatrix Casillias-Retana and Elicia Dennis; Skinner: Bryan Garcia and Devina Muniz; Slavens: Elizabeth Lindberg and Eleanor Lindberg; Waller: Madison Duke and Austin Johnson.

Four special awards were given for outstanding portfolios. Other board members: Betty Valdez, Irma Mapelli, Evelyn Elfstrom, Harry Schanker and Stan Ames helped with the proceedings.
