OK, excuse us for this. But a few awards came through recently, and since they are our kids, WE at least think it is news. ;)
Lance and two of his buddies won a first place award at the Shanghai Film Festival – Best Music Video (Elementary School Disivion) for a film they made last year. Copyright has now cleared, so it can be shown on YouTube. Very cool, to have a film star in the family. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEgcDl7OYx4
Lucas and two classmates won an award this week on National History Day. They developed a very detailed documentary film about Dr. Feng Shan Ho, who rescued thousands of Jews from the Nazis by gaining them passage to Shanghai. They used video, stills, voice-over, interviews, etc. to put it together. It was a city-wide competition; they earned third place – and a VERY happy history teacher in the process!
In the meantime, Stacia also pulled in a couple recent accolades. Basketball season finished up, she was named First-Team for both All Conference (Shanghai) and also All-APAC (Asia-Pacific Athletic Conference). At the year-end banquet, she was recognized as team MVP and captain. Not bad for a sophomore!
Equally exciting, Stacia was just invited to join National Honor Society. This is a measure of high grades and strong service in the community. It is great to see her recognized for all the hard work and determination!
The kids all brought home good report cards, so as a bonus for the whole family we went out to a new local treat we found – COLDSTONE CREAMERY! Since ice cream is not too common here, and good ice cream basically non-existent, this is quite a find in Shanghai and will hopefully lead to another set of excellent report cards soon!
