Bridgeville youth were recognized May 12 for good citizenship.

At that night’s council meeting, Mayor Betty Copeland presented certificates of recognition to children who participated in this year’s Earth Day Community Cleanup held April 18.

“You have shown responsibility, kindness and pride in making the world a better place,” Copeland said. “Your actions demonstrate that small acts can make a big difference. Thank you for being a positive role model.”
