WHS HONORARY SERVICE AWARDS

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. - Amelia Earhart

It is not just a cliché, but a truth that it takes a village to raise our young people into adults with compassion, integrity and excellence. In our community, we have a number of people who deserve to be recognized for their commitment to positively influencing the lives of our children.

Please take the time to see the HSA (Honorary Service Award) nomination form below and thoughtfully consider the people who make a daily impact on our young people. Showing gratitude is the most beautiful way to encourage continued efforts and fill the cup of those who give of themselves so freely.

Nominations can be submitted either online or with the paper form and are due to hilary@bilbrey.me by March 12th, 2020.
