AUBURN – Hannah Marie Beaulieu, daughter of John and Anne Beaulieu of Lewiston and a student of St. Dominic Regional High School, was named recipient of the Saint Michael’s College Scholarship and Service Book Award.

The award recognizes students who demonstrate a commitment to volunteerism and leadership through community service. Saint Michael’s a liberal arts residential college located in the Burlington area of Vermont, was founded on the belief that serving others is part of its Catholic tradition, and through the award seeks to honor those who demonstrate the spirit of volunteerism.

Award recipients, named at schools throughout the country, are high school juniors who are inductees of the National Honor Society or an equivalent school-sponsored honors organization. They must demonstrate a commitment to service activities in high school or community organizations, taking leadership roles in these activities.

The goal of the award program is to recognize students who practice the St. Michael’s college mission of scholastic achievement and service.

Beaulieu was presented the book “First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers” (HarperCollins 2000) by Loung Ung, a 1993 Saint Michael’s College graduate who has become an acclaimed author. In “First They Killed My Father,” Ung gives an autobiographical account, from a child’s perspective, of surviving captivity during the genocidal Pol Pot regime in Cambodia.
