She always has something of worth to offer to classroom discussions and actively displays compassion when quietly offering to help classmates who are in distress or struggling with their own work. Peyton's consistent growth is demonstrated in her strong grades over her High School years and her diligence in attending classes during the pandemic and completing all her work on time. Peyton has a love for animals and was able to earn some of her community service hours at a local horse farm. Peyton described her work at the farm as follows: "I love animals and being able to do a community service project with horses was incredible. I have always wanted to own a horse and being in arm's length of one was a dream come true. When I was at the farm freshman year,I helped clean up the outside paddocks in the winter time.It certainly doesn't sound like the most fun job, but I enjoyed it so much. In my mind I thought no matter what I'm doing I am still happy to be here." Peyton has been an active member of the Lexington Youth Commission. During the past year when the pandemic changed the way the Youth Commission was able to carry out their events, Payton was described as an unsung hero by quietly putting in far more hours and work than was required to meet the last minute challenges for community service projects for the Lexington Food Pantry and the Lexington High School Senior Rolling Rally 2020 to become major successes.In her essay Peyton said `I hope to do more service in the future because knowing that someone else benefitted from what I did, will never fail to make me satisfied and that satisfaction will never run out." Peyton is a talented student, dedicated volunteer and strong role model with exceptional leadership qualities. For all these reasons and more, it is an honor to present the 2021 Outstanding Youth Award of Lexington to Peyton Campbell. Congratulations Peyton. - Y4 (0 �L , �/z ('41t DOUGLAS M.
