Braden’s teacher selected him to go to Washington, DC to be a part of the JUNIOR NATIONAL YOUNG LEADERS CONFERENCE. This conference is to honor and inspire the most exceptional middle school students in the nation, distinguished by their academic excellence, leadership potential, and maturity, and to reinforce the virtues of leadership, citizenship, and democracy while using Washington, D.C. as their classroom. We are urging everyone involved in this spectacular little man’s life to please help in making sure Braden gets to share in this experience. He has worked very  hard in every aspect of life to be considered for this great honor, and it would mean the world to him to be able to attend.
