Business Wire 2/9/16: Massachusetts’ Top Two Youth Volunteers Selected in 21st Annual National Awards Program. Amanda Judah of Wayland was selected as a distinguished finalist. A member of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts and a senior at Wayland High School, Amanda created toolkits featuring the stories of four local historic women – Lucy Larcom, Ida Annah Ryan, Cornelia Warren and Stephanie Wilson – for third grade teachers to use in their classrooms. Amanda, who took on this project because information about these important women is scarce, recruited a team of 20 student volunteers and experts who helped research and approve the toolkits, which are also available online and through the local library.
