The Northern Burlington County Regional School District celebrated the spirit of community and leadership at the Greyhound Gala Awards on May 19, 2025, with a heartfelt tribute to Emma Knight. Recognized for her exceptional contributions, Emma has become a beloved fixture in the school library, dedicating her lunch periods to volunteer work.

Her efforts include shelving books, organizing displays, and ensuring the library runs smoothly—all done with a smile and without prompting. Emma's impact goes beyond her volunteerism; she embodies kindness, respect, and generosity, making everyone feel welcome.

"She represents everything the Greyhound Gala Award is meant to celebrate," said a faculty member during the presentation. Emma is not only an avid reader and an active member of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), but she also leads by example, demonstrating integrity and compassion in her daily interactions.

The Greyhound Gala Awards aim to honor students who exemplify these values, and Emma's recognition highlights the importance of community involvement and positive leadership within the school. As the event unfolded, it became clear that Emma Knight's contributions have made a lasting impact on her peers and the school environment.
