Salem recently received another award at Greenville. The Hope of America award is sponsored by the local Kiwanis organization and recognizes and encourages students who have demonstrated academic accomplishments, leadership and good character. A boy and a girl from each 5th grade class at Greenville Elementary were presented the award. It was awarded at a 5th grade assembly a couple weeks ago. Dave was a little late arriving from work but managed to walk in just as they announced Salem's name.
The Hope of America award recognizes and encourages students who have demonstrated academic accomplishments, leadership and good character. These students should be potential leaders who have sustained our democratic way of life and exhibited outstanding citizenship traits. Criteria for selection of a recipient includes:
- Capacity for leadership (self‐discipline)
- Ethical and moral character
- Academic competency (general studies)
Selection will not only be made on the basis of high I.Q. or academic achievement, but also on demonstrated leadership and character combined with consistent devotion to the acquisition of learning skills. It is our goal to challenge youths to excel in school and to dedicate themselves to strengthening their character and leadership skills.
Way to go Salem!
