Academic Awards Banquet 2012

The end of school brings with it certain ceremonies honoring students for their hard work over the year.  The Academic Awards Banquet is always such fun!  Who doesn't love seeing your kid stand on the stage, looking precious, while nice things are being said about him?  I'm in!  Luke was recognized for his work as a Mentor.  Mentors work with incoming Freshmen and help them to become familiar with high school.  See how helpful and Mentor-like Luke looks?  If I were a Freshman, I would feel much relieved knowing Luke had my back.
 Nick was inducted into the National Honor Society that night.  He had to light his candle signifying his membership.
Note the carefully placed fire pager. Just. In. Case.

Nick then joined all the other inductees in pledging to behave in accordance with the NHS standards.  Do you suppose there is a National Honor Society police force that watches these kids?  That would sure help them to sleep at night, wouldn't it?
We enjoyed a great dinner and loved watching the boys be recognized! Good job, Luke and Nick!
