Does that floor anyone else?

Congrats to our sweet girlie who was inducted 

in the National Honor Society this week. 

Her High School has a Sophomore class of 300

and to be nominated as a member of the National Honor Society

a student must have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher. 

There were 120 Sophomore Inductees. 

Does that floor anyone else? 

More than a third of their class has GPA's of 3.5 or better??? 

What kids!!

Induction Pledge

I pledge to maintain high scholastic standing, 

to endeavor intelligently and courageously to be a leader,

to give of myself freely in service to others,

and to hold as fundamental and worthy

an untarnished character.

In so doing, I shall prove myself worthy

of a place in the National Honor Society. 

Those are some serious ideals.

It's an honor...

Our girlie had an experience to remember this week. She was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. Our school has a beautiful induction ceremony that celebrates and informs about the aims of the NJHS.

We love the woman at the microphone. She has had a profound influence on our children's education over the past 9 years through Grade School and Jr. High School. She is a professional in every sense of the word.

"Five main purposes have guided chapters of NJHS from the beginning: to create enthusiasm for scholarship; to stimulate a desire to render service; to promote leadership; to encourage responsible citizenship; and to develop character in the students of secondary schools. These purposes also translate into the criteria used for membership selection in each local chapter."

The Branch Bros were in the NJHS too and in the National Honor Society. I'm grateful for this country, for this community. What great opportunities the twigs have been given to learn and serve, to become contributing citizens who make a difference in the lives of others just as these administrators and teachers make in their lives. It's an honor.
