Proud Grandma Betteridge with Ben and Christian her two graduating grandsons.
Christian has had a busy weekend. Graduation was Friday evening, June 11th with 415 classmates from Curtis High School. We were so proud of him as he received a special honor at graduation, the George R. Curtis Award which is given to one graduate who exemplifies the true Viking Spirit. I think all his extra activities from Swimming, water polo, drama and music and especially his ASB leadership service really qualified him for this award. He also received several community scholarships from the Kiwanis club, the Choir Booster club and the Jim Baurichter PBA (Percieve, Believe, Achieve) swimming scholarship. WOW.
EAGLE SCOUT
Sunday evening, June 13th, we had his Eagle court of honor. We were very happy to have Grandma and Grandpa Bateman here with us to celebrate.
We loved celebrating this event with Christian's good friend, Brady Morrison and his family. It made planning of the event alot of fun. Curtis Valhalla choir sang the national anthem and the Curtis ROTC performed the flag ceremony. Christian and Brady created a really fun slide show of scouting memories and several of their leaders told some fun stories about their scouting days.
