Chase receives academic award


Chase was recently inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. The awards ceremony took place at Poston Jr. High School on May 10th. The society was formed to recognize outstanding junior high school students. It recognizes students according to five characteristics: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Character, and Citizenship.
It is also used as a way to encourage students to participate in community service, requiring a certain number of hours in order for students to stay in the society. In order to receive this award, a student must maintain a GPA of 3.5 or higher and receive 3 recommendations from teachers. We are very proud of Chase. He continues to set a great example for his younger brothers to follow.

Chase, I know I mentioned quickly on the phone how proud we are of this accomplishment, but wanted to reinforce it since the phone call was quick. Keep up the good work and you'll have full scholarships to BYU! Love you!
