Jai’Lysa Hoskins is award-worthy.

A three-sport (cheer, basketball, track) star at Coupeville High School, the senior was also recently recognized for her work in giving back to other athletes. She received the Violet Richardson Award from Soroptimist International of Coupeville for her work with Special Olympics of Washington.

Hoskins has donated her time for the past four years, helping to coach basketball and track.

Also honored was CHS freshman Rebecca Robinson, who has been one busy young woman.

Robinson volunteers with the International Order of Rainbow Girls in Coupeville, helping with food drives both on Whidbey and with Northwest Harvest. She was also a team captain of a Relay for Life team, volunteers with a teacher at Coupeville Elementary and assists with middle school drama.

The awards, which honor the first president of the Soroptimist’s, are awarded to girls 14-17. Robinson received $500 and an additional $250 for Rainbow Girls, while Hoskins received $250.
