Tonight was Senior Awards Night where they gave out 75 different awards, often to multiple people. It was long and my hands hurt from clapping, but we had fun. Lex got a handful of recognitions:

• Honors Program (certificate and sash thing to wear at graduation)
• The Frank Kinison Scholarship (certificate and $)
• Frank & Olivia Gilman Scholarship (certificate and $?)
• English Department Award for Excellence in Film Study (certificate and bookmark)
• Blue Honor Roll Scholar (certificate for being on the honor roll all through high school)
• Vermont Principals’ Association Award (certificate)
• Community Service Award (certificate)
• President’s Award for Educational Excellence (certificate)

Not too shabby for little Lex. I was impressed with the variety of awards given. They didn’t all go to athletes or college bound scholars. A lot of them did, of course, but there were also lots of awards for everyone else as well.
