Hayden applied for and was accepted into the National Junior Honor Society at Lesher Middle School. As part of the application process, she had to write a personal essay and get a letter of recommendation attesting to her character. (Ms. Sharolyn- her Taekwondo instructor from OMS wrote her a recommendation that brought me to tears when I read it!) Applicants had to have a minimum G.P.A. of 3.75 and be active members in both school and the community. Members were selected based on: Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Citizenship and Character. When they announced this year's chosen members at the school assembly, they handed each recipient a carnation with their acceptance letter attached to it and tied with a ribbon. Hayden felt honored to be chosen.
Her back is to us, but here she is accepting her NJHS membership certificate.

Everyone got dressed up for the event (including Mike!) and they had a nice cookie and punch reception after the ceremony.
