I received this letter in the mail yesterday!
January 14, 2012
To the Parents of Joshua Burger:
It gives me great pleasure to tell you that Joshua will soon receive an invitation to attend a 2012 People to People Leadership Summit.
Your child was nominated by educator Cara Sommers of Rocky Mountain Middle School who believes Joshua meets the participation requirements for scholastic merit, leadership potential, and exemplary citizenship.
And as a nominee, Joshua's overall aptitude for academic achievement, ability to take initiative and make decisions that can effect positive change, and continued growth and progress within his grade level are all factors that may have been taken into consideration.
For more information, look for Joshua's formal invitation arriving soon.
Investing in Joshua's ability to succeed in a globalized society begins with developing his leadership skills, and the Leadership Summit offers a rare opportunity for him to join highly motivated and accomplished students from all over the world. I look forward to welcoming Joshua into the program.
Sincerely,
Natasha Porter
Director of Admissions, People to People Leadership Ambassador Programs
I looked it up online this morning, and the Summit is going to be held at Tulane University in New Orleans LA. If it is something we have to pay for he probably won't be able to attend, but I think it is awesome that he was even nominated.
On another note he just started taking band this year, so for the first part of the school year he was in beginning band, but he has done so well that his band teacher has moved him up to intermediate band. (she is also the teacher that nominated him for this Leadership summit)
Great job Josh!! One of my dance students did this last year and they went to Australia! I wrote her letter of recommendation. It's quite an honor!
