Ursuline junior Elizabeth Coughlin was named one of the Ten Outstanding Norwood Youth (T.O.N.Y.) for her volunteerism in the community. The 45th Annual Awards Ceremony was recently held to honor and recognize all of the nominees for their numerous volunteer and charitable efforts in the community. These students are actively involved in the community through organizations such as their church, the Food Pantry, or My Brother’s Keeper, while others initiated their own charitable cause. Elizabeth was applauded for organizing the “Bearly” Used Book Drive at Ursuline Academy. She was quoted as saying, “I've always loved reading and I think people don’t always realize what a privilege it is to have a book. Everyone deserves to have that opportunity.” Each T.O.N.Y. winner received a plaque and a citation from Governor Baker. Guest speaker journalist Joseph Fitzgerald told the students: “The things you did, they weren't done for applause, they weren't done for attention. It speaks highly of your character.”
