Our Little Junior Leader is Heading to Washington!

Meet Chloe: She is fun loving, caring, tenderhearted, sensitive, and maybe a little dramatic.  

 She's not the bold, obvious, in your face kind of leader.  No, Chloe is more the quiet, gentle, serving kind of leader.  She has always been sensitive to the needs of others, ready to lend a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, or even a gentle speech of the hard truth when people need to hear it.

She has always stepped up to the plate to serve at school, church, and (most of the time) at home, too.  She served as treasurer on her 6th grade student council, thrived in drama her 5th and 6th grade years, and began a new journey of playing the flute in the 6th grade band.  She received the Citizenship Award her 6th grade year, an honor bestowed to the student who exhibited consistent leadership and service to her fellow classmates and teachers throughout the year.  This year, Chloe is in the flag crew, band, and is getting ready for tryouts for basketball.  In church, she has served for years as a greeter, always meeting visitors and regular attenders with a bright smile and happy conversation.  She also helps in the children's classes and on the praise team.

It was a great honor to receive a letter in the mail, along with enrollment forms from Envision telling us that Chloe had been nominated by one of her teachers to be a part of the 2017 Junior National Leaders Conference!  She will have the opportunity to join other middle school students from all over the country for a week of leadership education in Washington D.C.  While the trip itself is a huge honor, it also has a very large price tag.  Chloe and I are working on a few ideas for how she can be a part of raising the funds, she will also be working to earn money for the trip.  If you would like to help Chloe get to Washington, please watch for different opportunities as we provide them.  In the mean time, if you are able to simply donate to her fund, please use the "donate" button provided below or on the sidebar.  We will have the exact figure when we launch our first fund raiser, but the need is over $3,000.  Thank you in advance for showing an interest in this awesome opportunity for our baby and thank you for your continued prayers and support for our family!
