Lauren is awarded a "Golden Scholar"
Award

At Lauren's school, they don't award "Golden Scholar" until you are in the 4th grade.  Lauren has worked very hard to achieve this to be just like her sister.  Lauren was voted to give the opening Pledge of Allegiance and was asked to sit with the panel of teachers during the opening. 

Lauren was tickled pink to give the pledge and was so happy that she actually SKIPPED/RAN off the stage!

I just can't believe how BIG she is getting.
