Serena's Special Night

Last night, Serena was inducted into the National Elementary Honor Society! Membership is based on grades, citizenship, community involvement, and extra curricular activities. Natalie is on her second year. The group has done some great things so far, such as 2 fundraisers for Haiti. The first one was collecting pocket change, but then Natalie had an idea to present...the kids could pay $1 to wear a hat all day in school. The fundraiser was a great success and the kids are learning to give back where they can. I am proud that Serena is now a part of this group too! I know she will do great things.

Here are just a few of the new inductees. See how many you recognize! (Luke, Amelia, Elliot,Brooke, Kelsey...from our church!) Congrats to all of you! You will all do great things too!

Serena receives her certificate from Mrs. Fachting, the principal. The kids were then congratulated by staff and current NEHS members. Serena looked beautiful in her new dress and curly hairstyle that I managed to create. Her hair is her biggest nemesis, so the fact that it turned out made her night even better! She was just a little disappointed that the newspaper wasn't there this year, because her sister made the front page on her NEHS night last year. Oh, the perils of little sisterhood! She originally wanted to wear her sister's outfit from last year too. She looks up to Natalie so much and wants to follow her lead. I can't wait to see what these girls do next!

A Character that Reveals

  When you love your enemies,  you reveal what kind of God  our God is.  I was thinking today about how stubborn we are as people sometimes....
