Girls Ministries is a program for girls from preschool age through high school. Recipients of the Gold Medal of Honor must complete many requirements and achievements including reading the entire Bible multiple times, memorizing dozens of scripture verses, and completing all units in five programs. Emily has completed all the requirements and testing for the Gold Medal of Honor and has achieved honor credentials in the following clubs: Rainbows (preschool), Daisies (kindergarten), Prims (grades 1-2), Stars (grades 3-5), Friends (grades 6-8), and Girls Only (high school). She will be publicly recognized in a ceremony held on Wednesday, May 30, at 7 p.m. at Delta First Assembly of God. Family and friends are welcome to attend.

Emily would like to thank her church and her teachers, Kay Crespin, Wilma Johnson, Bev Ray, Norma Lee Markley, Phyllis Snyder, Roni Prescott, Ruth Thompson and Ashley Varner, and especially her mom, for teaching her and encouraging her to grow in her relationship with God.
