Last night of AWANA, with a parent's open house. We had the most kids ever this year, with one visitor! Maybe it was because we were having pizza at the end.

As a church, we visited the afternoon service at Door of Hope Church of Reading. Next Sunday they're going to visit our services. We are exploring the possibility of merging our congregations.

We're so proud of this young man, one of our church teens!

On the evening of November 12th, sophomore Ryan Hernandez wasn’t thinking about recognition—he was thinking about safety.

While traveling home with his family, Ryan, a 15-year-old junior firefighter with the Birdsboro-Union Fire Department, encountered a working structure fire just steps from his home. As conditions rapidly worsened and before fire apparatus arrived, Ryan acted decisively, preventing the homeowner from re-entering the burning structure and relaying critical medical information to responding firefighters.

For his courage, composure and commitment to putting others first, Ryan was recently honored with a Soaring Eagle Award, one of the ways Exeter Township Senior High School recognizes students who demonstrate exceptional character and citizenship—whether in everyday moments or extraordinary circumstances.

The Soaring Eagle Award was created several years ago to recognize students who consistently demonstrate strong character, responsibility and care for others. Teachers and staff nominate students for actions that reflect positive citizenship, with approximately 10–20 awards presented each week. Most awards honor everyday moments of doing the right thing, while Ryan’s recognition highlights the very highest expression of courage and character the program was designed to celebrate.

More importantly, says Mr. Campbell, it reinforces the message that character matters just as much as academic success.

“There’s a stereotype that being called to the principal’s office means you’re in trouble,” said Mr. Campbell. “But the Soaring Eagle is about celebrating students when they make good decisions–especially when those decisions put others first.”

Congratulations, Ryan! We're exceptionally proud to celebrate you! Read more on our website at https://buff.ly/CBY8x4K 💙🦅
