Becki Broyles, BRVGS student and a junior at Madison County High School, is a recipient of the Gold Congressional Award, the United States Congress award for young Americans. Congress established the Congressional Award in 1979 to recognize initiative, achievement, and service in young people. She is one of only about 250 youth from across the country to receive this recognition each year. Becki earned the award for logging hundreds of hours achieving personal goals in the areas of volunteer public service, personal development, physical fitness, and expedition/exploration. She will be honored at a Gold Congressional Award ceremony in Washington, DC this summer. To find out more about this program, go to www.congressionalaward.org.
In addition to the Congressional Award honor, Becki has also earned the 4-H All Star Award, which is the highest honor a 4-H member can receive, and is based on her 4-H work over the past eight years. She will receive her All Star Award at a ceremony during the June 4-H Congress in Blacksburg.
Becki is part of a team from the Madison County 4-H Adventure Club that will be representing Virginia at the National Wildlife Habitat Education Program( WHEP) Contest in Missouri in July. Becki's team has been state Junior Champions for several years, and won the Senior title in the fall 2013 to gain entrance to the national contest.
Accolades go to this talented, hard-working BRVGS student for her many achievements!
