1. Named "Young Environmentalist of the Year" by the Harrisonburg PBS station, WVPT.  The award was earned due to her campaign to preserve wetlands on the grounds of a local middle school.  Photos were taken of the wetlands and she and her team submitted recommendations on how to preserve and protect them for both environmental and educational purposes.
