Larson Presents Windsor Student with Congressional Award

March 31, 2017

Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) presented Dylan Rispoli, a junior at Northwest Catholic High School from Windsor, CT, with the Silver and Bronze Congressional Award medals.

"Dylan has gone out of his comfort zone and challenged himself to achieve both the Silver and Bronze Congressional Award. It is inspiring to see someone so young, be so ambitious. I am proud to have a student like him in the First District," said Larson.

Dylan is receiving both the Silver and Bronze Congressional Award medals for achieving his goals in voluntary public service, personal development, physical fitness, and expedition/exploration. To meet each of his goals, Dylan volunteered at Foodshare, he joined his school's Mock Trial Team to improve his public speaking, he improved his 5k race time, and planned a hike that went into the White Mountains.

The Congressional Award was established by Congress in 1979. It recognizes students who have committed to bettering and challenging themselves and to give back to their local communities.
