Students took considerable time from classes the past two days learning to march and line up properly for this award ceremony. This was to be held in the area immediately in front of the school. Sometime in the night it started to rain. Of course it rained through the ceremony and then some.The pictures are taken from a second story covered assembly area above the high school rooms. This area has breath taking views of the surrounding mountains. All came off well even though the space was crowded. Many parents showed up to witness the academic recognition.
After the ceremony, parents hosted a major lunch at a large down town restaurant for teachers, award winning students and guests.

That was it for the entire day. No classes!

Do you have any idea what percentage of the students were honored? How often does this take place? It is wonderful that parents appreciate their teachers so as to take them out to lunch with their students. That certainly is a beautiful scenic view from that assembly area. How thoughtful that they roofed that area to accommodate the frequent weather. Don
My students would love to take a whole day off from classes! Although they wouldn't be as well behaved.
