Recognition

The Los Banos School District Board has a hard job ,such long agendas at the meetings and usually makes decisions that some in the community are not always in agreement, but
they have the students education to
think about and I give kudos to those men and women who have the courage to run for school board.

The Los Banos school board
always has a senior student be a representative on the board to kind of be a voice for the students.
this year my son has had the honor of being this representative.
this past Thursday was his last meeting as he will be graduating. so in honor of my son's year coming to an end and for the superb job that he did he was recognized by the school board and honored by a gift of a beautiful engraved fossil alarm clock. what made me the most proud was listening to these strangers tell everyone in the room what a personable, well liked, young man my son is. and audience members saying " that smart kid is going places"(nice to know we have raised him well!) seeing my son up there behind that desk with his name plate and listening to him thanking them for the opportunity to have served on this board with them, it gave me goosebumps ,because in that moment I realized my son is destined to achieve and make a difference somewhere in this world!

After he was excused he had to rush back to the high school for another recognition. his drama club he was given the award of most valuable person. not only did he act,help design and build sets,did make-up and for some record and score music but he was also the club's treasurer for the last three years. he was very honored by the statue he rec'd.

yes, this past Thursday was truly a day of well deserved recognition and I could not be a prouder
a mom!
