The Junior/Senior High held their awards assembly the first part of May, considering school gets out May 16th.  Daniel was invited to come.  No wonder, he had a great night receiving many awards for his academics.  This one was for being in the top 10th percentile in at least three of the four national standardized tests.  Daniel's were in General Science, Math, and English.

Their was only four who received the award for the top 10% of his 7th grade class.  As you can see his class consists of barely 40 students in the 7th grade.

Daniel also received the award for being part of the 7th grade quiz bowl team.  They did great at the competitions this year.  They traveled to Chadron, Sidney, Gering, and several others.  The honorable mention was when they won 1st place in Chadron!

Hayden took a family and consumer science course this semester at school.  He learned to make key lime pie.  He made one for our family and I have to say he is quite a chef.  It was really and truly good.  He learned a new tip to get the juice released from the key limes.  You don't need to roll them on the counter, just put them in the microwave for about 15 seconds, the juice with pour out of them.  Great thinking Hayden on that time saving tip.

Look at the fine meringue on top.  Perfect peaks and toasted to perfection on top.  Great job and I can't wait to see some more of your hidden talents in the kitchen; maybe cleanup?

On April 5th, I was able to complete the challenge that our Family History Representative gave the ward in January, to complete 2012 names indexed.  I was truly proud of myself.  I received this award in Sacrament Meeting a couple of Sundays later with two other people.  It is completely addicting!  Now its time to start the next 2012 names.
