The Meriden Board of Education takes pride in honoring our students. This award, spearheaded by the Board of Education President Rob Kosienski, Jr., is the "You Care – We Care" award. The award will be given monthly to one elementary, middle, and high school student who makes a difference in their school community by displaying kindness and compassion. The Board would like to honor and recognize students who demonstrate kindness, compassion and inspire others through their actions.
