National Service Award from National Forensics League!

BRIANNA AND BRETT DREVLOW RECEIVE NATIONAL SERVICE AWARD

  Thief River Falls - January 10, 2012

 Brianna L. Drevlow and Brett L. Drevlow have each received a Student Service Citation from the National Forensic League (NFL) in recognition of outstanding service to speech and debate education. Brianna and Brett are members of the Drevlow Home School NFL team and the Lincoln Senior High Speech Team.  NFL students receive a Student Service Citation for every 100 service points earned through service activities, such as community speaking or outreach activities. A single act of service usually garners between two and five service points.  This is Brianna’s eighth Student Service Citation while Brett earned his second Student Service Citation.   The Drevlows earned two of only three such awards issued through out Minnesota in 2011.

The NFL believes that service is central to speech and debate education and includes service among the tenets of its honor code. In addition to Student Service Citations, students may also earn service plaques at the discretion of their coach. Educators in the NFL are also eligible to receive service citations through activities such as leadership, publication, and outreach.
