Awards

On Sunday afternoon, May 15, we attended the honors awards at Lutheran High School. I think the thrill is as great for grandparents as it is for parents and for the students. Katie and Sara were both called up, along with several other kids, to be honored for being on the A Honor Roll. Katie along with four others, was inducted into the National Honor Society. Katie was also given the Yale BookAward. An Alumnus of Yale, representing this area, presented her with the book "How Democratic is the United States Constitution." He closed his little speech by telling her that they would be pleased to have her as a student at Yale. He didn't offer any help in paying the $40,000 per year tuition, room and board if she decided to come, but since that was not a college she was hopeful about, it won't be a problem. She has been asked a few times since if she is planning to go to Yale. Congratulations girls!
