Velarde who has received the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for 
Youth award. Maleah Velarde is an 8th grader at Everitt Middle School 
and received this award because her determination and hard work have 
allowed her to overcome adversities.
  The dedication demonstrated by Maleah Velarde is exemplary of the 
type of achievement that can be attained with hard work and 
perseverance. It is essential students at all levels strive to make the 
most of their education and develop a work ethic which will guide them 
for the rest of their lives.
  I extend my deepest congratulations once again to Maleah Velarde for 
winning the Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth award. I 
have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character to all 
her future accomplishments.
