House Resolution 136, sponsored by Representative Hill, honors Emma Sophia Edwards, a seventh-grade student at Johnson County Middle School, for receiving the 2024 Good Neighbor Award from the Gamma Mu chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma. This award recognizes young individuals who exemplify outstanding qualities such as kindness, compassion, selflessness, and a strong work ethic, which are not typically measured by academic or athletic achievements. Emma's quiet strength and dedication to advocating for fairness have made her a positive influence in her school community.
The resolution commends Emma for her maturity and commitment to good citizenship, highlighting her as a role model and future leader. It expresses the House of Representatives' appreciation for her ongoing dedication to civility, compassion, and respect for others, and extends best wishes for her continued success in future endeavors. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation, excluding the final clause.
