SCMS Honor Armor Awards Banquet

Rick and I attended the Honor Armor Awards Banquet for Jaiden and Janelle held at the Gardner Center at DSU. There are three awards: the "Silver Spear," the "Gold Helmet," and the highest award, the "Diamond Shield," which is the highest award given at SCMS. The students earn points for things like academic achievement, student council, athletics, extra-curricular activities, school spirit and so forth. They can earn points in both 8th grade and 9th grade. Janelle logged her points for 9th grade but not for 8th grade. Since Emily and Jaiden earned "The Silver Spear" this year they will have a good chance of earning one of the higher awards next year. 

The tickets were $14.00 each for Rick and I. It was a nice banquet and program. Our girls both received the "Silver Spear" award and so did Emily Williams. Janelle's friend, Layla Purdy, received the highest award -- "The Diamond Shield" award! Congratulations, Layla! There were only a few students (five, I think) who earned it. They did a really nice slideshow for them with pictures of them through the years. The Diamond Shield recipients get to paint a portion of the Diamond Shield Circle of Honor with symbols and pictures to represent their personality. This is a big circle on the cement as you are walking outside of the school. It is pretty neat! Congratulations girls on your hard work and achievement!
