According to the Press Republican, Amanda Palmer, a senior at Franklin Academy in upstate New York, held the winning key to a 1991 Ford Probe at an award ceremony for nice people held yesterday.

Area teachers and staff members submitted 10,000 entries of students who they felt exhibited qualities of kindness. Twelve names were plucked out of the pool of entries and twelve car keys were given to the lucky kids. But only one of the keys would actually turn the engine of the Ford Probe, donated to the cause by Bailey Ford Motor Co.

Palmer was nominated by her chemistry and homeroom teacher, Carole Raymonda. Raymonda made the entry because Palmer helps out with attendance, watering plants and for just being helpful to other students. Very nice to be nice. We hope the car helps Amanda as she leaves high school and enters adult life. We hope too that she continues to be nice.
