A LEGISLATIVE COMMEMORATION, Congratulating and honoring Daniel Schmidtman as
a recipient of the Prudential Spirit of Community Award.
WHEREAS, Daniel Schmidtman, a student at Sioux Falls Washington High School, has
achieved national recognition for exemplary volunteer service by receiving a 2013 Prudential
Spirit of Community Award; and
WHEREAS, this prestigious award, presented by Prudential Financial in partnership with
the National Association of Secondary School Principals, honors young volunteers across
America who have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to serving their communities;
and
WHEREAS, Daniel Schmidtman earned this award by giving generously of his time and
energy to Servant 3, a group he started to fight world hunger, locally and globally. As his group
grew, they would meet once a month to have fun and work on a variety of volunteer projects
such as a hunger walkathon, feeding the homeless, and stuffing backpacks for shipment to third
world countries; and
WHEREAS, the success of the state of South Dakota, the strength of its communities, and
the overall vitality of American society depend, in great measure, upon the dedication of young
people like Daniel Schmidtman who use their considerable talents and resources to serve others:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT COMMEMORATED, by the Eighty-Eighth Legislature of the
State of South Dakota, that the Legislature congratulates Daniel Schmidtman as a recipient of
a Prudential Spirit of Community Award, recognizes his outstanding record of volunteer service,
peer leadership, and community spirit, and extends best wishes for his continued success and
happiness.
