Awards time

The end of the school year is award and banquet time. With the three kids and their activities it seemed like there was something at least once a week. It's nice to see them recognized for the hard work they put into their school and music.

Paige at the Spring jr. high band concert. She got an award for her solo in percussion for the UIL competition. The band director also awarded her a merit award for her overall contribution to the band.

Paige played tennis for the 1st time this year and she and her partner made the finals. They ended up with 3rd place, not to bad for beginners.

Paige was inducted into the National Jr. Honor Society. They had a nice ceremony and reception. They help with activities around the school and provide service in the community. She was chosen by maintaining a 3.5 GPA

High School Orchestra banquet. The seniors are honored at the annual banquet. One mom put together a nice slide show of the many activities and performances throughout the year and a
tribute to each individual senior. Taylor is 5th from the left. The conductor is 3rd from the left.

Paige also received some awards from her teachers in 7th grade. She received a PE award and science award.

I know it's almost impossible to read but Taylor's name is on the Honor roll list. It's on the right side just past 1/2 way down.

This was Taylor's last day of school and I was there helping with some Proj Grad things. I got him to point to his name on the honor roll list. He only did it because the halls were empty. He's not always cooperative when it comes to my desire to document life with a picture.

This is the only picture I got from Taylor's seminary graduation. This is the early morning bible study class that he took for the 4 yrs. of high school. They have a ceremony to congratulate the students for completing their studies and hand out diplomas. Taylor had to leave for work before everything was completely over, so I didn't get a picture with the diploma. I taught Taylor for the 1st 3 yrs. and this other lady taught this past year.

Lexi had her 5th grade awards ceremony at school. She received the gold presidential award. this is for maintaining a A average all year and for receiving commended on her state exams in all subjects. The 5th graders are tested in reading, math and science.

After the presidential awards and other special presentations each student is presented by their teacher and receives any awards she or other teachers have for them. Lexi also received awards in Reading, Citizenship, Music and Safety Patrol.
