Connor's
National Junior Honor Society Induction


In recognition of their contributions to Severn River Middle School and their community in the areas of scholarship, leadership, character, service and citizenship, Connor and 49 of of his 8th grade classmates were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society at a special ceremony this month after a rigorous application process. I have to admit I pretty much take this type of thing for granted mothering a great kid like Connor, but even I was amazed and inspired by what all of these kids have already accomplished in life, inside and outside the classroom. Not only are they all honor roll students, they are all also great examples to others as very busy athletes, musicians, artists, scouts, church members, volunteers, and family members. It was a night to sit back, take a break and notice not only how fast it is going, but, for a change, to also see how much is being accomplished. Congratulations, Connor; we are so proud of you.
This photo is just for Jennie so she can see that he really did fit into the size 16 suit jacket (required attire)! Thanks for the hand-me-around!
