This goes in the “striving to be fair even if you’re more than a month late” category.
Back in January, I wrote a story about various events marking the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. I mentioned that six local students had been honored at the African American Men of Westchester’s annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Legacy Youth Awards Breakfast for their commitment to community service.
I named and quoted one of the students in the story, but neglected to give the names of the others whose efforts were just as noteworthy.

It was an oversight for which we at The Journal News and LoHud.com apologize. Here is the complete list of the students and the awards they received.

Jenn Dondiego of Sleepy Hollow High School received the Social Action award for her efforts in battling teen alcohol and drug use and educating students about dating violence.

Alfys Tobal of Yonkers High School was given the Peace and Non-Violence award for promoting “Stop The Violence” messages, including writing comics and a performance piece.

Marvin Lassiter of Mahopac High School received the Building Bridges award for bringing students of different backgrounds together to discuss important issues, such as bullying, racism and sexual harrassment.

Maurine Koranteng of Lincoln High School in Yonkers was given the Social Justice Award. A member of the Westchester County Youth Council and the county’s Youth Board, she has encouraged teens to become more active in their communities.

Gero Eaton of Yonkers High School received the Spirit of Love award for his volunteer work with the developmentally disabled.

Kenneth Horton of Ossining High School was given the Vision (I Have A Dream) award for mentoring younger children and for fighting to make a ban on racial slurs school district policy.

We congratulate all of the students and wish them continued success.
