PIQUA — Each spring, the Piqua Optimist Club hosts an “Outstanding Youth” awards ceremony. This award is given to students who are residents of Piqua attending Piqua City Schools, Piqua Catholic, Upper Valley Career Center, and Lehman High School.
The purpose is to recognize students who, in their daily actions and work, demonstrate the characteristics of an Optimistic person, thereby making themselves an example or inspiration to others.
The students, their parents, and school representatives were invited to a luncheon hosted by the Culinary Arts students at the Upper Valley Career Center’s Cornerstone Cafe.
