Alex will WALK today at his High School Graduation

Alex was awarded the Eagle Warrior Debate Award for 2010-2011

In just a few hours Alex and over 300 other Snow Canyon High School students will walk across the stage as the Class of 2011.  Congrats to all of them,

Honoring

The past few weeks the boys have been able to attend events in honor of those that have helped them on their journey towards recovery.  Tuesday Officer T. Brown received an award from the St. George Police Department for his efforts on October 5, 2010.  Officer Brown is SCHS's Officer and was one of the first responders that frightful day in October.  I was so touched to be at the awards night and thank him and the STGPD for inviting us.  To all the officers that received awards, Thank you for your service.  To you "its your job", to us, that you served, its our lives.  We met a few other people that had also had their lives saved by an Officer, I loved hearing their stories.  We live in a great community.
