So... Jon is having himself quite a senior year in high school. He won the Sterling Scholar award for Business & Marketing for his high school. His chapter of DECCA (a business law and ethics association) won the state championship three weeks ago. He and his partner, Mike Kaplan, placed first in their region and sixth at state for the two-person competition. He is currently up in Layton at the state championship for the HOSA club competitions. He has one more state competition coming up. This one for FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). I don't know exactly when it is or what the competition is about, but I guess I'll find out soon enough.
He has been awarded a New Century Scholarship by the state of Utah for completing his Associate's degree while still in high school. It awards him various scholarships depending on the school he chooses to attend. He decided to accept the two year 3/4 scholarship from University of Utah, so that's where he's going to go to finish his undergraduate degree. The Sterling Scholar award is 1/2 tuition so the combination of the two scholarships gives him full tuition and books plus a 1/4 scholarship amount in stipend cash to use toward living expenses.
Last but not least, prom is in about three weeks.
Whew!! Busy, busy, busy.

Hey, I won the Sterling Scholar in that same area. However, at Escalante High School, there wasn't must competition. (None, actually :) Good for him. Glad to hear he is headed for Cedar City. I went there for awhile, it was lots of fun. And he'll be so close to G & G Munson!! Well - kind of...closer than any of the rest of us.
