SIDNEY — Christian Academy School has named Alyssa Pepiot, daughter of Melanie and Jeff Pepiot, of Piqua, and Emma Michael, daughter of Janay and Ted Michael, of Sidney, as ambassadors to the state’s Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership Conference.

The students are sponsored by the Sidney Kiwanis Club.

Pepiot and Michael were selected based on papers they submitted answering questions pertaining to their leadership skills and why they would appreciate the opportunity to attend the conference. During the conference, June 28 to July 1 at Antioch College, they will participate in seminars and meet with leaders to discuss present and future issues in the fields of education and government. This year’s theme is “Setting the Stage.”
