Awards Night

Kristin's school presented awards to the students this evening. In spite of the heat in the auditorium (why aren't un-air conditioned schools better ventilated???) we had a great time. Kristin got to sit with most of her friends--although she was going up to the stage more times than she was sitting! She got so many awards and pins we just about lost count. We are so proud of her! Some of the pictures from this evening:

It wasn't easy for TB to take pictures because we were sitting all the way in the back and the lighting in the auditorium was off. Kristin is hugging one of her favorite teachers who is retiring this year.

Kristin got awards for her participation in Model Congress, ROGATE, the student council, drama, honor roll, Teen Arts...and one that was a complete surprise but big honor was for most improved in band. She started learning the saxophone in September and did so well she was performing with the band within just a few months.

"For those of you who are going to rock on, we salute you!" I think that's what they said...

Afterwards, we got the friends together to pose for some pictures.

These are some of the best days of their lives! Rock on, kids!
