Awards Assembly



Last Friday I went to the girls awards assemblies. Ashlie got her award for being more self motivated to get her assignments turned in both during class and at home. Ashlie has always been an excellent student but this year she is in a 3rd-4th combo and she is a 3rd grader, so she has had to be a lot more self motivated to get her assignments completed and that has taken some discipline on her part. She is doing great in school and loves her teacher. Sari was recognized as Student of the Month. In some school they have 2 or 3 per month from each class so that each child gets an opportunity to be student of the month, but at Mineral King only 1 child per class is selected so it really is an honor to be chosen as Student of the Month. Sari got to go to breakfast with her teacher and the other 5th & 6th grade Student of the Month's on Friday morning before school started. She also was recognized at the assembly for her Science Fair Project and received a 2nd place Ribbon. Her project was on "How Much Lemon Juice Do I Need to Keep 5 Apple Slices From Turning Brown". She worked very hard on her project and as a result it has been selected to compete in the Tulare County Science Fair! We are very proud of her and her hard work. The Science Fair is in a couple of weeks so we'll post pictures of the project and awards for all to see. We are very proud of both of our girls and their dedication to education and learning.
