National Honor Society

A few weeks ago I got an email from the school telling me that Bryson had made it into the National Honor Society and I was supposed to keep it a secret! What??? How could I possibly keep such a big thing a secret??? I did tell a few adults and they were all sworn to secrecy. Sharon couldn't hardly stand it! It was tough, but I managed. Well, I almost let the cat out of the bag when I suggested she wear something nice that day-just in case she got in. She told me they don't tell the kids, they tell the parents. I told her I hadn't received a call or an email telling me she got in. So, she just thought she didn't make it this year. So, they snuck all of us parents in and hid us until the kids' names were called. We came out and met them at the front of the stage as they were going up. She was surprised and promptly called me a liar! Hee, Hee! I am so glad I was able to keep quiet! Surprising her was so much fun!Afterwards, they had a brunch for the new members and their parents. The new members got clean up duty! I was soooo proud of her! And I might add, she was the only sophomore this year that was selected. She has worked so hard for this. She has always been an honor student, but NHS looks at other things besides grades-Leadership, volunteer work, other activities. She's active in student council and has volunteered for bible school and was also a counselor at Hanging Rock Christian Camp for the 3rd and 4th graders. I say she worked hard, but she actually enjoys every second of all of these things! We are so blessed to have this fabulous young lady! Even if she has the messiest bedroom EVER!
