So my daughter's school is blaming the Navy, saying the Petty Officer who was trying to set up the NROTC presentation at the Senior Awards ceremony was "disorganized" and the Navy Petty Officer is saying my daughter's school was not accommodating and could not provide details. But in the end, the Senior Awards ceremony occurred and there was no Navy representation and she was not presented "the big check". The school district has apologized to me, (again citing they didn't know this was what the Navy wanted to do) but the awards night has come and gone. Now after speaking with the principal, the awards program will be changed (but who will actually get copies of it??) and they will have my daughter's picture taken with the principal and post it on the school website. The Navy has said to me (they are also apologetic) they will come to our house to present "the big check" to my daughter at a time of our choosing. This is very nice, but it misses the point.
Yes, obviously I want my daughter to be recognized for being a scholarship recipient, but I already know how incredible it is....I wanted her to be recognized by her peers and their parents/families and school staff and administration for the amazing accomplishment. Anyone have any ideas on what I can ask either the school district or the Navy to do? Having any presentation at graduation has already been asked for and I was sternly told no way.
