(KTNC) - A Peru State College senior is being honored for her work with Auburn Elementary School children.
Jamie Theye, of Odell, has been honored by the Campus Compact as a 2013 Newman Civic Fellow. The award honors 181 students from 36 states who have helped to find solutions to challenges facing communities throughout the country.
Theye’s honor is attributed to her work with Peru State’s Children’s Health, Activity and Nutrition Community Engagement – or CHANCE – Initiative.
The CHANCE Initiative began in 2012 as a partnership with Calvert Elementary School in Auburn, focusing on improving children’s health through nutrition and exercise education. The initiative has grown to include area middle school students.
Theye’s work with the CHANCE Initiative has included instructing weekly classroom activities, participating in community kick-off events, helping lead a culminating event for the first year, and giving presentations locally, regionally, and nationally.
In addition to the CHANCE Initiative, Theye has also been president of Phi Beta Lambda, and treasurer and media officer for the Peru State Education Association, and has been involved with various volunteer efforts.
