A week ago we got a letter in the mail asking for Cindy and the family to please be present at the Career center's board meeting on Monday as they wished to recognize her for placing in the regional and state competitions of Skills USA. In the same envelope another letter asked us to attend an honors show on Wednesday to view projects of students who have received awards. The main part of this show was Multi Media students showing their art portfolios but they wanted Cindy and a couple others to make a display to show along with her metals and again be recognized.In the middle of this on Tuesday night a church group that Cindy and Michael are involved in , WITNESS, ( Winning In The Never Ending Search for Salvation )had a dinner and prayer service to honor the two members who graduate this year. Since Cindy does have a job and our family does try to maintain some sort of life,we have had to decline on some of these things. In this grouping Cindy said No Thank you to the Wednesday night honors. First off because she would have to make up a display that she had no time or interest in doing . Secondly because she had mandatory Graduation practice and assembly at her home school this morning . Thirdly was because the honoring at the school board meeting was to say the least lame. Cindy's main instructor was not even told about Cindy receiving honors and was in the room across the hall grading papers while the whole thing went on . We ran into her on the way out and she was so disappointed that she was not asked to at least be present.
We did however make sure that we were at the WITNESS event though. It was very nice. We were fed a nice meal, and then went into the church. ( there was a video made with pictures of the two Graduates from birth to now but it malfunctioned. We were promised a copy when it was fixed)Inside the church this group did a wonderful prayer service honoring Cindy and Matt.
Below are some pictures from this week's events
