Dear Teachers, Community Leaders and Fellow Citizens:
As we enter our second year of the Mayor’s Top 50 Teens program for 2012‐2013, I am searching for 50 extraordinary
teens that are currently high school Freshmen, Sophomores or Juniors in the City of Modesto, and I need your help! As
members of the community who have had the privilege of being in contact with local teenagers every day through
school, church, work and other activities, I am requesting your participation in nominating teens in your lives that you
believe are most deserving of this special honor.
What Makes an Ideal Candidate for the Mayor’s Top 50 Teens?
The ideal candidate is a teen who has demonstrated a strong commitment to serving others; who has overcome
adversity or unique obstacle in their lives; who has achieved a significant accomplishment; and who is the epitome of a
positive role model for their peers. The Mayor’s Top 50 Teens seeks to acknowledge those who do not routinely
receive recognition for their accomplishments, and exceptional personal characteristics they possess.
About the Program
This excellent program is entering its second year, and is in full support of the Modesto City Council’s Strategic
Commitment to “Champion Education Partnerships.” This program is a unified community collaboration to commend
and honor every day good acts and accomplishments of local teenagers who have exemplified extraordinary efforts.
Our mission through the Mayor’s Top 50 Teens program is to provide young people with confidence, support, and
recognition, that will hopefully allow for additional opportunities for them to become involved in their community,
develop as leaders, and meet other successful teens in the City of Modesto.
Please join me in honoring the remarkable teens in your lives by nominating them for the 2012‐2013 Mayor’s Top 50
Teens program. Attached you will find a nomination form and program overview.
Should you wish to be a recognized sponsor, please contact Ellen Wright at (209) 577-5223, email at
ewright@modestogov.com.
Submit your Nomination!
