@Skapambwe - I think it’s great that your school celebrates the accomplishments in front of the whole school and that it inspired you. I wish my kids’ schools could see this and change their policy of having athletic awards in front of the student body and academic awards being hush-hush. As a parent, it would make me feel a lot better about the schools (and voting in favor of tax levies) to hear that sudents are getting into top schools and earning big scholarshps. Only hearing about a bunch of community awards of a couple hundred dollars isn’t really inspiring.
