Working Together for Children
Since 1997, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office has spotlighted students who make good decisions and positive choices through the Do The Right Thing Program. This exceptional program reinforces good behavior, recognizes noble citizenship and honors community involvement.
Nominations & Recognition
Nominations can be submitted by parents, teachers, coaches, deputies and community leaders. Examples include any positive act such as turning in lost property, volunteering in the community, standing up to peer pressure, or simply working hard in school. Each nominee is considered a winner and will receive a certificate of recognition from Sheriff Carmine Marceno. In addition, twenty-four students will be selected from each month’s nominations and honored publicly during an awards ceremony in the Lee County School Board chambers.
How Can You Get Involved?
Do the Right Thing is a non-profit program and all funding for the program comes from community donations and corporate sponsorships. Many local businesses have become involved with this program to help make a lasting impact on Lee County students.
