Academic Recognition

As a member of the top 10% of the class of 2010, Kendrick was one of the honorees at a dinner hosted by the Elgin ISD Education Foundation. Each students chose a teacher that has made a difference in their school career and wrote a synopsis about him or her. They were also invited to attend the dinner. Each student was introduced and then spoke on why they chose the teacher he or she thought helped them with their education. The students were each given scholarship money from the foundation. We are very proud of Kendrick's accomplishments this year.

Kendrick chose his German teacher, Mr. Flentge. He has truly enjoyed learning German this year.


This is the top 10% and some of their teachers that attended the dinner.
Dad and Kendrick Now pick up your jaws from the shock of how much they look a like these days!
Its scary I tell ya!!


He was also honored at another award ceremony Tuesday. This was for all students at the high school. We sat through a LOT of awards to get to his.

He received two awards. One was for academic excellence in his Ready, Set, Teach class. This meant that he had the highest average in this class. This one was a nice surprise for us. The second was the recognition for being in the top 10% of his graduating class. We'll have better pictures soon from the local paper, but here's what I was able to get. Needless to say we are extremely proud of all Kendrick's hard work. He has set some pretty high standards for his brothers to follow.
