It's All About Laura.

This has been a memorable Senior year in high school for Laura. She has been involved in a lot of activities that have opened the door to many more opportunities. This last week has been especially busy, full of award banquets and graduations from Seminary and High School.





Thursday, May 15th, as member of the Rigby FFA Chapter Presidency she helped plan and put on the yearly awards banquet for over 100 people. It was a fine steak and potato event. Awards were given to the students with Laura receiving several for individual and team competitions. Roger and I also received an Honorary Chapter Degree. They tell me it is for our support of the chapter and the three children we've put through the program. I personally think it has to do with all the potatoes we've donated; baked and dutch ovened. This is a picture of Mr. Hale, one of Rigby's FFA advisers, praising Laura for her achievements before presenting her with The Star Agribusiness Award.

Sunday, May 18th, was Seminary Graduation. There were about 45 youth from the Menan Stake that graduated. Six from our Menan 3rd Ward. It was a nice and short graduation with some outstanding speakers. Did I mention that Laura was one of the two speakers? She did a fabulous job. She made her mom and dad proud.

On Wednesday, May 21st, was finally the big day. Graduation! Whoo hoo! The ceremony was held in the Hart Auditorium at BYU-I. We are so proud of Laura and excited to see her start the rest of her life. You go girl!!
