Six Bethlehem Central Middle School students have been awarded the 2025 Capital Zone Sandra G. Morley Middle School Leadership Award. The selective award is presented to Capital Region middle school students by the New York State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (NYSAHPERD).

They are, pictured above from L to R: Julia Pauze, Claire Engle, Addison Rexford, Ben Frick, Carter Martin and Cameron Thomas. The students, all eighth graders, received their awards at a ceremony in Guilderland earlier this month.

The award winners were chosen for demonstrating sportsmanship, a physically active lifestyle, leadership, and positive influence on peers across all school activities, not just in physical education.

Congratulations to ​all!
