AMY DANDRON Moore Renaisance

LCHS junior Amy Dandron received the Marvin L. Moore Renaissance Award at the Fayette Classic Tournament at Fayette County High School on Saturday, September 16.

Marvin Lee Moore, Jr., was an outstanding debate student at Fayette County High School who died in an automobile accident in 2000. Marvin was an excellent student, gifted athlete and talented debater who was also very active in political causes and social reform. He strove with all his heart to make the world a better place by using his gifts of communication and persuasion to influence those around him. Some of his notable achievements included writing for a student magazine aimed at increasing social awareness and speaking out against racism, poverty, and social inequality. He was active in his church and his community, frequently volunteering at homeless shelters and soup kitchens in the Atlanta area and lived his life with strength, commitment, and love.

Each coach at the tournament was asked to nominate a student who represents the qualities that Marvin exemplified. Amy was chosen among all students nominated by their coaches at the tournament.
