I encourage students across the 3rd District to follow Sean’s lead and learn more about the Congressional Award, get involved, and make a difference in their communities.” From Sean’s Congressional Award Citation: In earning his Congressional Award Bronze Medal, Sean volunteered countless hours of Voluntary Public Service volunteering at the Alamosa Food Service Program at his middle school.
