The Kiwanis Club of Leesville wrapped up the school year with its annual Terrific Kids Celebration at Leesville Municipal Park, recognizing students for character development and positive behavior.

Students participating in the program enjoyed activities including miniature golf using earned vouchers, time on the splash pad, and a pizza lunch provided during the event.

Two students were awarded bicycles during the celebration: Vivian Garcia from Parkway Elementary School and Sebastian McKee from West Leesville Elementary School.

The Terrific Kids program is a student recognition initiative that emphasizes traits such as Thoughtful, Enthusiastic, Respectful, Responsible, Inclusive, Friendly, Inquisitive, and Capable, with a focus on building self-esteem and perseverance.

Organizers thanked the City of Leesville for providing miniature golf vouchers, Domino’s of Leesville for the pizza, and families who attended and supported students despite the warm weather.
