Sachem High School North junior Kaylise McClure received the Students Building Bridges Award presented by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Long Island. This prestigious award recognized students on Long Island for their community service efforts and dedication toward creating a more civil society.

“Kaylise dedicates countless hours inside and outside of school to helping and empowering others,” said social studies teacher and Model UN Club adviser Kate Seifert. “In her roles as the Model United Nations Secretary-General and as president of the Intercultural Club, Kaylise emphasizes the power education, collaboration and acceptance can have toward building bridges between different communities.”

Kaylise will be honored with citations from elected officials and a certificate of achievement from the JCRC-LI at the Suffolk County Holocaust Remembrance Day Commemoration on April 27.
