Seven Lindbergh School District pupils recently were recognized as “Presidential Triple Crown” recipients for achieving distinction in academics, physical activity and service.

Sperreng eighth-grader Kayla Peek, Kennerly fifth-grader Danielle Koch, Long School fifth-graders Scott Karcher, Emily Scott, Vidhan Srivastava, Grace Vangel and Remy Wehmeyer received the Presidential Award for Physical Fitness, the Presidential Award for Academic Achievement and the Presidential Award for Service.

The Board of Education adopted a resolution honoring the pupils, according to a district news release. The pupils also received a letter from President George W. Busch plus pins and certificates.
