Last month, senior Emma Lee was presented with 2026 Find the Good Day Award from the Junior League of San Jose, an organization that promotes women taking leadership to positively impact their communities. She is the youngest in the 55-year history of the organization to receive the award. The award recognizes women who embody the values of Find the Good Day, an annual day celebrated internationally by the Junior League on the third Thursday in September that encourages and enables women to find opportunities for change.
Lee was recognized for her volunteer work with the local nonprofit organization Colorful Minds, which conducts art workshops for neurodivergent youth. Her work with Colorful Minds has included organizing more than 100 workshops, significantly increasing the number of volunteers and raising funds for future workshops. Representatives from the Junior League of San Jose visited the upper school campus last month to present Lee with the award.
