Taylor Martin Memorial Game

Nearly one year ago, our community lost a dear friend, teammate, and Original General as Taylor Martin was taken from us on September 10th, 2015. Taylor embodied the notion of LEADERship through peacemaking, CARE, and friendship. Through collaboration with our Legacy Core team and our TNHS LEADERship team, we have identified our home match vs. Nelson County on September 12, 2016 as the "Taylor Martin Memorial Game" to honor and celebrate her life.

We intend to make September 12th a day of remembrance and celebration as we have a variety of unique activities planned for that afternoon. First, we intend to make this a community celebration and we want to invite all members of our community to this event. Our school community will be hosting House Tailgate to create a space for students and community members to gather and connect before the game. The House Tailgate is planned to take place next to the tennis courts and is set to begin at 5:00PM. TNHS plans to provide and grill hamburgers and hot dogs for the tailgate, however, a few other items have been requested to ensure its success. If you would like to bring something (soft drinks, water, cups, chips, pop-up tent, etc) to the House Tailgate, please add your item or suggestion to this document.

Finally, we have established a scholarship foundation to honor Taylor's life. The Taylor Martin Memorial Scholarship Foundation seeks to raise $10,000 contributing to an annual $1,000 scholarship to a graduating senior over the next 10 years. This scholarship will be awarded to a senior female that represents peacemaking, CARE, and LEADERship. ALL proceeds from the September 12th game and its aligned events will go directly to the scholarship foundation.

Next Steps for our Lady Generals Community
