A few weeks ago, Taylor completed a very lengthy application for National Honor Society. Applicants have to have at least a 3.6 GPA, 75 hours of community service, led a service project and provide 10 references. Last week she found out she was accepted…quite an accomplishment and honor!
Tonight was the induction ceremony for the incoming Juniors and Seniors. Grandma and Papa's flight got in just in time for them to attend with us. The ceremony was very inspiring. Some of the NHS commissioners gave speeches on the four pillars of NHS…character, service, leadership and scholarship. Each inductee received a marble for the fishbowl, a yellow rose and a candle as part of the NHS traditions.
The school principal and keynote speaker expressed that each student chosen is a born leader and they are the ones others follow because they are trusted and do the right thing even when no one is looking. They are well-rounded and self-motivated and look to make a difference.
Here is the new Junior group of inductees.
Taylor will attend weekly lunch meetings and work with a group on a community service project, while continuing her volunteer hours and maintaining her grades. We are so proud of her and are grateful that she received this honor for all that she does!!
