LMS Student Named Pop Warner All American

Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. has announced that Christian Hlewicki, current seventh-grader at Lawrence Middle School, has been selected as a 2012-2013 All-American Scholar.

This honor places Christian academically in the top 2 percent of the approximately 400,000 children that take part in the Pop Warner Little Scholars’ spirit and football programs nationwide. Christian has been invited to attend the 53rd Annual All-American Scholar Banquet, taking place on Friday, May 24 and Saturday, May 25 in Boston.

In November Christian was selected for the Eastern Regional team, he then went on to compete nationally for the top honors. To be considered you must hold a 96 percent or above academic average and take part in community service, as well as be a member of a Pop Warner football or spirit team.

Coach Mike Markulec had this to say about Christian, "It has been my pleasure to watch Christian mature as an athlete and more importantly as a young man over the last few years. Christian's work ethic and commitment to excellence are what drives him on the field, in the class room, and in his community. He is a natural leader; helping teammates, respecting opponents, and listening to his coaches all with a smile on his face."
