RaLee Recieves Her Young Women's Medallion

We had a very special evening with RaLee. When RaLee turned 12 she was so excited to be in Young Women's. She worked constantly on her personal progress and completed all of the requirements one month before she turned 13! Yes she was only 12 when she completed everything. The Bishop-ric discussed it with the Stake Presidency and the Stake Young Women's Presidency and decided to require more from her. They didn't want her to become bored with the program since in her mind she was "Done". So she has served in the Presidency numerous times and jumped through some extra hoops by doing extra projects. I think they just wanted to make sure she understood what she was receiving and to keep her active. So two weeks ago they told us that she was going to be awarded her medallion. We were excited for her and very proud. I think it meant more to her because of the wait and the extra work.


The Presidency spent allot of time making sure everything was beautifully decorated. It was very nice and created such a special atmosphere.


Each of the girls displayed their projects. RaLee's was barrel racing but also talked about developing her talents in Cheer this year. She received a porcelain statue for her project.




Bishop Nevitt presented her with her award. I have such a respect for Bishop. He and his family will always hold a special place in my heart.
