Senior awards night

FKHS held their annual ceremony recognizing the senior class tonight. Mike's buddy Mark was there with his mas macho camera and got some great pictures for us.

Here is Mike accepting his Air Force ROTC scholarship:



Sharing a moment with friends:



And with Annabelle and me after the ceremony:



Here is the one photo I took that turned out halfway decent. Rather Pattonesque, don't you think?



I tried to note all the times Mike's name got called, but I eventually lost track. When we got home, I had him make me a list of the various scholarships and awards:

• AFROTC Scholarship
• Torre Mallard Scholarship ($500)
• Spouses Club Scholarship
• Yearbook Medal
• AP English Medal
• Math Analysis Certificate
• Current Events Certificate
• Government Certificate
• Auto CAD Certificate
• Career Practicum Certificate
• German III Certificate
• KHSAA Academic All State First Team
• Certificate of Academic Achievement (all A's)
• President's Education Award (Obama Letter)

Probably the most memorable moment for us was when he received the Torre Mallard Scholarship. That is a school award given in memory of Captain Torre R. Mallard, a West Point graduate and former FKHS student who was killed in Iraq a couple years ago. Ms. Wahlberg choked up when she presented the award, and you could tell that she thought an awful lot of CPT Mallard. I know Mike is honored to have been selected to receive this scholarship.
