How do you someone to present the big check at senior awards? My son's guidance department asked us to figure it out,
Reach out to the ROO at the school he will be attending. They will make arrangementsHow do you someone to present the big check at senior awards? My son's guidance department asked us to figure it out,
I remember when you posted that.My son's school refused to permit the scholarship check to be presented or even mentioned at the awards ceremony. I was furious. My son, however, was delighted.
I would also suggest that the HS graduates going into the military, both ROTC and enlisted, get recognized in the high school graduation ceremonies with the red, white and blue neck cords.I also asked our HS if they were aware of anyone else who had gotten a scholarship through any of the military branches. They were aware of one other who didn’t know she could get recognized at the award ceremony until the school called her in and told her. She was happy to hear about it and my son liked that they were each presented a check together. There was a 3rd who got a scholarship and didn’t tell the school so he wasn’t recognized, but I guess someone complained because the school sent an email out the next day recognizing him as well.
Just make sure your school allows them to wear cords that were not distributed by the school. Ours didn’t but the enlisted servicemen and women were allowed to wear sashes with their military branch. My son and the other incoming ROTC cadets didn’t wear one because they weren’t contracted and they were all fine with that. The ROTC scholarship winners were listed in the grad program. They also did a recognition by bringing all the enlisted and future ROTC up front to be recognized during the Star Spangled Banner.I would also suggest that the HS graduates going into the military, both ROTC and enlisted, get recognized in the high school graduation ceremonies with the red, white and blue neck cords.
Our HS did not do this, so we purchased one on Amazon.
