SmArTiEs!

We continue to have smarties in our family.  Last night was the Academic Lettering Ceremony for the high school.  They award the kids that have a 3.5 GPA or higher, have taken all 4 core classes and so on.  They get awarded every semester for their grades.  The program is held during the semester following the one they are awarded for.  So the semester they are in now, they will have the ceremony next school year in the fall.  There is a total of 7 levels since the last semester of your senior year is not counted since you will be graduated by then.  Tyler made it every semester except his last one...senioritus hit rather hard for him so he made it only to Level 6. Level 1 and 2 get certificates, Level 3 gets an actual Letter for their jacket and then Level 4-7 get gold bars to add to their letter. 

Last night.....Jenna got her Level 1 award.  AWESOME JOB JENNA!  Of course most of them are Freshman, but even seniors can get this level if they meet the requirements.  This Level 1 is the biggest one ever in the history of this ceremony with 82 kids reaching it.  There has never been that many by a long shot.  There is usually the most in this group than any other group however.  But this was a record!

A record was reached for Megan's level too.  Level 7.....yea, she made it every semester!  WAY TO GO MEG!  Level 7 had the highest number of students ever in the history too......36 students.  They of course are all seniors and were awarded a sweatshirt as well with their last names on it.  They also went down the line and had each one tell where they were attending college and what their major was going to be.  They are all smart so of course they are all heading to college.  Megan said BYU!  Go Cougars! 

We are so proud of our kids and their accomplishments!
