Awards Assembly

Each of the kids got an award at the awards assembly. They were each recognized for completing the school reading challenge, the "Hall of Fame". Tyler and Lauren each completed "1" and McKenna completed "7"! McKenna was also the top reader for all of First Grade and received a medal. She was also the top reader last year and hopes to continue all the way through 6th grade. What a great goal.

Lauren also worked very hard to earn the "Talon's Feather" award. This award requires several hours of service that must be completed during school hours, memorizing some important quotes, memorizing some Utah history, participating in extra curricular activities and writing an essay on responsibility and respect. Some of the things Lauren did were volunteering during her recesses in the kindergarten classes, helping the special ed classes, cleaning and serving in the cafeteria, picking up litter on the playground, helping the computer teacher, etc.

Tyler also earned an award that we didn't know about until the day of the assembly. The President's Outstanding Excellence Award for Academics. This is from the President of the United States and is given to students who achieve 90% or better in every subject. We were very proud of Tyler for having such great grades. He's had nearly straight A's since Kindergarten with just one or two B's.
