It's elementary!BoardBuzz got wind of something really interesting across our desk yesterday . . . the National Elementary Honor Society. Our friends at both the National Association of Secondary School Principals and the National Association of Elementary School Principals have set up the program to "recognize elementary students in both public and non-pubic elementary schools for their outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated personal responsibility, to provide meaningful service to the school and community, and to develop essential leadership skills in the students of elementary schools. "
Sounds good to us! What could be better than acknowledging the academic achievements of elementary school students? The NEHS Web site also tells us
Through the development of a chapter that functions with these purposes, elementary schools create a method for acknowledging achievement and focusing on the needs of the total child. In addition, NEHS provides information and resources to enhance the culture of achievement in the whole school, not merely the culture of a select few. This Web site and the resources being sent to every member school are designed to support these purposes and strengthen the lives of our nation’s elementary students and the schools in which they are enrolled.
For more information be sure to visit the site and start a chapter in your school district.

Oh good grief. Well, I guess you can never start too early to tell kids they're smart or they should just stop trying. What if they ALL wanted to keep being curious and learning??? Can't have that.
