| LIMOMOF2, we put them in slipcases/binders as well. We just don't have much wall space (very small house, lots of bookcases) and my kids won quite a few awards.
Congrats to DadIIs D! She must be a very special person.
In our HS, the theater awards are given on Thespian Induction night. Athletic awards are given on a night just for them. Band/choir awards are given at the last concert of the year. Senior departmental awards and scholarships from local groups are given during a morning assembly with the whole school watching, and anyone from the community can come. Each group/department can give awards to whomever they want, even if it ends up that someone wins a big number of them. Most of the awards are heavily weighted to the kids who participate in everything and do service work in clubs or the community, and there are usually enough of these kids that you have to have excellent gpa/class rank as well to win. This year, for a change, more boys than girls won awards. Usually it is the other way around.
I think our small (750 students) HS handles this very well -- but maybe that is because my kids raked in the cash and departmental honors. I am proud that this year my S won 4 scholarships and 2 departmental awards, math and English. |
