At the 8th Grade Awards Ceremony, Christine earned the Civics Award (only 2 students per subject matter were awarded) and also the Pride of Paseo, which is given to those students who embody the character traits of respect, trustwothiness, citizenship, fairness, responsibility, and caring. We're really proud of her, in her academics as well as in the way she steps up as a leader to her classmates.
At promotion, there were a handful of awards given out. To her surprise, and ours, she was awarded the Peoria Prinipal's Association Award, which is given to two students who's help and leadership impact the school. Most of the awards given out at promotion were given to the student body president, the NJHS president, etc., so Christine was quite astonished that she had been given this honor. In fact, she was in such shock that her teacher had to prod her up out of her seat to go and accept the award.
Here she is with some of the other kids from our ward who also graduated with her. (l to r: Lincoln Crump, Christine, Paxton Alger, David Moore, and Kamrie Ames). Doesn't she look pretty all dressed up?Can't believe our baby has grown up!!! On to high school we go!
Editor's Note: Scroll down below National Birth Mother's Day to see what kind of leader Rebekah is - it got kind of lost in the way it was posted.

Wow Christine, it looks like you had a perfect storm of awesomeness lately! Unveiling you perfect smile, basketball prowess, and now leadership accalades at school- I wish I lived closer so I could live up to my personal responsibility of keeping you humble.
Grandma told me all about that, and I'm so proud of you, not that the school actually recognized how awesome you are, but because of all the things you have done to deserve it. Love you.
