Nomination applications for the Julie R. Macier Character Award are available now through April 15, in the main offices of Haddonfield Memorial High School and Haddonfield Middle School. Nomination forms are also available at the front desk of the Haddonfield Public Library. The Board of Education and Parent Teacher Association are asking for help in selecting one eighth grader, and one high school senior to receive this award, in memory of Haddonfield Memorial High School student Julie R. Macier. After Macier passed away from a hard-fought battle with leukemia on Oct. 7, 1994, the awards were established in 1995 to memorialize such a positive and courageous student.
The nominees for the award should be Haddonfield eighth graders or high school seniors who have exhibited wonderful character traits, such as courage, honesty, integrity, sense of humor, compassion, perseverance, friendship, trustworthiness, patience, respect, and faith. Any or all of the traits exhibited in nominated students should be ones that Macier exemplified in her own life. Nominations should be submitted not only by school administrators and teachers, but also students and residents of the community. The final deadline to return nominations to the pick-up destinations mentioned is April 15. For more information, contact Julie R. Macier Award chairman Pat Flynn at 795–6144.
