Top Ten Banquet and Senior Activities

Last Tuesday night was the Top Ten Banquet for this school district, which meant that the top ten juniors and top ten seniors from each of the five high schools came together to be honored, accompanied by their parents and favorite teacher. This picture shows daughter MJ (who is #2 in her class) with CB and me after the three-hour affair was over.

This week has many events to go to for MJ and sometimes for her parents:

• Monday: Presentation at School Board Meeting and then the Soccer Banquet for both boys and girls teams
  
• Wednesday: Seniors Honor Assembly and party that night
• Friday: Valedictorians and Salutatorians from the five high schools meet the Superintendent of schools for lunch

Also, the graduation speeches are due tomorrow, and neither of the speakers for Ray have finished the writing, which means that MJ and her boy friend are supposed to be writing right now!

Too much going on, just for seniors and their parents. And two weeks from today is the graduation, and all this will be over! Really over, because everyone will go home and MJ will go off to the summer camp where she is going to be a counselor.

I'm sure I'll fondly look back on this time as busy and happy.
