Jake and several other orchestra students were asked to perform at a Veterans Day ceremony today. It was a beautiful day outside and a special ceremony. Many older veterans were on hand as the city broke ground on a new veterans clinic.
Later in the evening, Jake was honored with the Nimitz Orchestra Award from the Optimist Club, a local civic organization. I made Jake go up front for a photo before the ceremony started, then I "forced" him on stage to meet our county judge, who was one of the presenters.
Jake and Mrs. Fawcett, his principal. We love her!
Each of these students represented a different academic/sports/fine arts department. We so enjoy seeing Jake interact with his school friends...quite a lively bunch, and they are always so happy to see one another outside of school. Our local news anchor gave the keynote address. She is a former Miss Texas, and she continually referred to God throughout her speech. Just love when that happens!
