Leyson was known at MUSE for taking time to connect with each of her classmates and teachers, espe-cially her three- to four-year-old reading buddies. She took pride in using resources sustainably and set-ting a positive example for her peers.

He was described as a student who displayed exemplary behavior and was known for his communi-ty involvement. In an essay about citizenship, Moore explained that citizenship is important because if you help the community around you, the community will respect you. He also believes that if you gain respect, you gain trust, and life will open up more choices for you.

Emily WalkerEmily Walker believes that good citizenship means helping family, friends, the community and the envi-ronment. She was known as a friend to all on the Juan Cabrillo campus, and she never missed an opportu-nity to help teachers and her peers. Walker set a good example for her fellow students and was involved in community causes. She followed her mother’s example (she taught Walker the importance of volunteering), and now volunteers at two horse ranch-es. At the ranches, Walker has many responsibilities, including feeding, exercising, riding and tacking up all the horses. Walker says, “I love hors-es, so it is easy for me.”

POINT DUME MARINE SCIENCE SCHOOL

She played an impor-tant role in writing a letter to the food services department of the school district to get healthier items on the school lunch menu. PDMSS teacher Kris Jennings wrote, “Her enthusiasm for learning, her willing-ness to go beyond what is asked, her positive demeanor and her compas-sion for others make Georgia a valu-able member of our community.”

VIEWPOINT SCHOOL

His senior year, Lewis undertook the Viewpoint Scholar Project, which is a yearlong indepen-dent academic exploration culminat-ing in a presentation. The project Lewis worked on, an electrical engi-neering project to create synthesizers, coincided with his passion for music. He also qualified for CORE, a com-munity service honor society for stu-dents who have exceeded 200 hours of service prior to the start of senior year. This year, Lewis earned nearly 100 hours through his involvement with Living On Insulin, a charity for diabetes prevention he cofounded.
