Undergraduate Honors and 7th and 8th grade Field Trip

My favorite ceremonies are when we get to celebrate the academic excellence of our students. Today we did that by presenting awards to our undergraduates at the high school. Every department handed out awards to those students who achieved the highest grades, worked the hardest, improved the most, or any other category they wish a student be honored. The ceremony culminates in the Academic Achievement Award which is give to any student who achieves a 3.7 or higher for two trimesters. If they do it for one year, they receive a certificate. If they do it for two, they get an academic letter. If the succeed in getting a 3.7 or higher a third year, they get a pin for the letter, and if they do it for four years they get a personal plaque and their name engrave on the Academic Hall of Fame. Congratulations to all our achievers!

We also took the 7th and 8th graders to Dr. Lawless Park and had activities and a cookout to celebrate the end of the year. Students played kick-ball, volleyball, engaged in team building exercises, and went on a nature scavenger hunt. It was a great time and our thanks to Mrs. Bright and all her staff for the amazing food!
