There will be another post about this when the rest of the photos roll in. But, the High School had a very nice reception for the semifinalists two weeks ago after school. Punch, cupcakes (Suzanne gave the punch some very high marks. Principal, superintendent, parents….pretty nice little 45 minutes.
The local press was there and wrote a story. The headline read “…High has 10 National Merit Semifinalists”
And there are nine of them. Sigh.
Anyway.
“Nine members of the Okemos High School Class of 2014 were recognized at an Oct. 10 reception for their having National Merit Scholarship Program Semifinalist status. The Okemos students are among 16,000 semifinalists nationwide out of 1.5 million students who took the test in October 2012. Front row, from left: Curtis K., Gavin M., Kevin H..
