Braggin' Rights


As Sarah's senior year comes to a close, many activities have been keeping her busy. She just finished her final track season last night with two good hurdle events....congrats. Her academics are basically concluded with the completion of her SIX AP exams over the last couple of weeks. Tonight she was honored at the Senior Awards night with the following SIX awards:
1. National Merit Scholarship Commendation Award
2. National French Level 5 10th Place Award
3. State of Indiana French Award
4. Top World Language Student Award
5. State of Indiana Future Problem Solving Program 2nd Place Award
6. Academic Award for >4.0 GPA
Her Magna Cum Laude academic cords for her graduation robe were also handed out, and they will accompany the National Honor Society and the French National Honor Society cords. While Kevie could not be present, his parent's drove in for the occasion. Also present were a very bored Eric, a happy Grandma R and KJ. (Hope you feel better soon Papa!) Your presence made her evening that much more special.
One of her former teachers told me today that Sarah's passion and work ethic is commendable. When you are used to seeing it, it is easy to take it for granted. With that in mind, I wanted to brag for Sarah tonight, since I know "braggin" is not her norm.
WAY TO GO SARAH!!! We are SO VERY PROUD of you!!!!
Congrats to Andrew too for receiving several impressive scholarships!!!

Way to go Sarah! We are proud of you too! You are true to your own beliefs and principles, always do your best, even in the smallest of things, and never take for granted
the simple joys in life-- Such as laughter, a perfect day, or a loyal friend.
