FARMINGTON — Andrew Haszko and Corey Rogers, students at Mount Blue Middle School, were recently honored Middle Level Scholar Leaders.

The students were presented with an award. The criteria included demonstrating academic initiative and scholarship, providing service to classmates and school, exemplifying positive attitudes and demonstrating leadership in the classroom and school activities.

More than 300 students, educators and parents attended the banquet in Augusta to celebrate the achievements of the middle level students who are representative of the many fine young adolescents in all middle level schools in the state.

Sixty-four students from 32 schools were honored at the 14th annual Middle Level Scholar Leader Awards Banquet. The event was organized by the Maine Association for Middle Level Education and the New England League of Middle Schools with a supporting sponsorship from Lifetouch National School Studios.
