This week Maren was recognized with three other students from the district in front of the Medford School Board. She was nominated from the students of Team 8-3 in her middle school. This is what her English teacher, Mrs. Rouhier said about her:
Hedrick Middle School has chosen a most remarkable young lady for the School Board Student of the Month award. Her name is Maren Lightheart. Maren is a true honors' student. She is always positive, smiling, and a great joy to have in class. She is one of the most conscientious students her teachers have encountered. She currently has a 4.0 grade point average. Not surprisingly, she takes advance classes: Honors English and Algebra; and plays flute in Hedrick's band. At home, she is studying the piano and practices a minimum of two hours a week. But, she's not just a good student. She has a rich life. She runs track for Hedrick, participating in hurdles and long jump. Also, she is part of Hedrick's Rachel Challenge Club which promotes compassion and understanding for all people. This club evolved from the Columbine shootings. she is involved with her Tuesday night youth group at her church and part of its Young Women's Group which strengthens values and builds interpersonal skills for girls 12 through 18. Furthermore, she is a competitive Level & gymnast earning 40 medals and 8 trophies. She has placed 1st "All Around" at the state level. Just this past weekend she competed in the Emerald Team Challenge in Eugene where she placed on floor exercise, balance beam and as all around gymnast. Also, she is one bright cookies because just this past week, she and her poetry partner were the only ones in my honors' English class to get an A on their poetry exam. Maren's teachers are so fortunate to have a student of her caliber. We thank her parents for this opportunity.
