Leah & Jack received many awards at today's festivities - both received High Honor Roll for this quarter, along with the President's Education Outstanding Academic Achievement Award. They also received several academic awards, and received recognition for service, athletics, citizenship, scholarship, and spirit.
Last month every student wrote an essay detailing their choice for "Most Influential American" in the last 50 years. The essays were then judged by the top administration at all six schools. The finalists and winner were announced at the ceremony today. The top three finalists were... Jack, Leah, and some other kid. And the award-winning essay was written by... Leah! She was completely surprised and had to read her essay aloud after they called her name. It was excellently and effortlessly written. Yes, I am biased, but I speak the truth.
Way to go, guys! We are so proud of you both. And believe it or not, a year from now Leah will be wearing the cap and gown...

Congratulations, Leah and Jack -- so awesome! I could not be more proud.
(Looks like you are taking after me;))
Who did Leah and Jack write their essays about?
(What? Has Jack grown like 4 inches since I saw him last???)
Oops, I meant to say that... Jack's essay was about Bill Gates, and Leah wrote about Walt Disney.
And yes, he has.
I would love to read them. Maybe you can e them to me. Or, bring them when you come up.
Congrats guys! It's nice to be recognized for all that hard work.
Amy, that last picture of Leah looks an awful lot like some pictures I have seen of you. Different hair, same semi-smile.
