Distinguished Finalist

Jordyn Lucas, 12, of Las Vegas, Nevada, a sixth-grader at Lied STEM Academy, ran two virtual food drives in her community, collecting online donations to benefit local food bank Three Square; she raised more than $17,000 to help provide more than 50,000 meals. Jordyn completed both of her food drives over her school’s winter and summer breaks in order to provide extra support to students who benefit from free or reduced lunch programs.
