Dave and Julie McIntosh, proud parents of Jade McIntosh, a fourth grader at Fowler Elementary School, would like to recognize her accomplishment of being nominated by her principal, Charity Zawatski, for the 2012 People to People World Leadership Forum in Washington, D.C.
In order to be nominated, one demonstrates outstanding scholastic merit, leadership potential and exemplary citizenship. The World Leadership Forum helps young people achieve future success through leadership development and engaging academic challenges.
As a nominated Leadership Ambassador, Jade will represent herself, Gouverneur School District and her community at the nation's capitol.
This is a once in a lifetime honor for her. It takes place in the Summer of 2012 and she will visit the Capitol building, tour the Smithsonian Institute, see national monuments of former presidents including Lincoln's Memorial, visit The Library of Congress, place a wreath at the WW II Memorial, witness the change of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns and have dinner at an embassy with a diplomat guest speaker.
Jade will also visit the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia and have a private tour of the United Nations, walk through Manhattan to visit the World Trade Towers, Time Square and watch a Broadway performance.
She will learn an abundance of important history and gain a broader perspective of the United States, the world and hopefully enhance her future as a leader in our society.
Congratulations to Jade McIntosh.
