(SALEM) - A student from each middle and high school in Salem and Keizer will be honored with a Turnaround Achievement Award at 11:30 AM on Wednesday, May 24th at Willamette Lutheran Homes, 7693 Wheatland Road, in Keizer.

The award is given to students who have made a significant effort to turn their lives around and get back on track to success.

The award was created more than twelve years ago by Don and Ann Lebold, owners of Town and Country Lanes in Keizer and business partners with Salem-Keizer, as a way to recognize and encourage students to continue to seek life's positive rewards. 2006 Turnaround Achievement Award recipients: STUDENT and SCHOOL
