The Byron music and theater departments have presented their spring awards. The Shining Star Award is given to a top choir student, this year’s award winner is Leeo Rising and a top theater student, with this year’s award given to Lexa Nolan.
The Shining Star Award is presented each year in honor of Megan Clift, a student who passed away in 2011. Through the generosity of the Clift family the choir and theater troupe are given a grant supported by the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. The funds are used to support student enrichment activities and travel.
