Kudos!
Today was ACMA's Awards Ceremony, and our daughters made us proud. Emily, not surprisingly, earned the Middle School Writing Award. Kinda makes sense after her State Writing Sample was scored straight 6's... Sarah won a $500 scholarship from the NAHS (National Arts Honor Society) to go toward her pre-college program at OSU this summer. Color us happy! :-) Celebrations abound at our house this evening!

Color us proud!
We're feeling very proud of Sarah these days. A few weeks ago, she was informed that she qualified academically to join the National Honor Society (3.5 GPA or higher), and was given an application to complete. Among other things, the form asked for Service and Leadership experience. Talk about timing! See, Girl Scouts does come in handy now and then! Her Silver Award project was a perfect fit for NHS qualification.
A few days after submission, Sarah received a letter announcing her acceptance, and inviting us to the Induction Ceremony. At school on Wednesday, qualifying sophomores, including Sarah, were presented with a red rose, signifying their acceptance into NHS.
That night, we attended the Induction Ceremony where Sarah and her entire group of friends (she's chosen well!) received their official certificates of membership and swore to uphold the NHS values of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. It was touching. In all, there were 39 inductees: a testament to the academic excellence of her school.
Color us proud!
(Side note: Times have changed. When I was in high school, I don't remember filling out an application for NHS, or knowing ahead of time that I was "invited" to join. I do remember a "Tapping Ceremony" at a school assembly wherein current members went out into the audience and tapped qualifying juniors on the shoulder to let them know they were being inducted. That was the first inkling of qualification, and it was quite thrilling...)
