We always knew Spencer was great. When we lived in American Fork, I nominated him to be the Junior Grand Marshall of the Steel Days Parade because he is such a great brother to Brayden. He was awarded the honor of leading the children's parade and got an position of honor in the grand parade also.
Now, he has been honored with a Great Kid Award from the Provo-Orem Chamber of Commerce. A few weeks ago, we received a letter in the mail saying he was being honored, but we weren't quite sure why he had received the award.
After some sleuthing on our parts, we found out that all of the elementary schools in Provo and Orem honor one boy and one girl for this award. We still weren't quite sure WHY he got the award, but it sounded pretty cool to us.
Tonight at the award ceremony, we found out that the chamber sent a letter to the school asking them to recognize a student who was doing their best. They weren't looking for a child who was only focused on one area of their life. They wanted someone who had some balance in all of their activities.
Ms. Seedall said she nominated Spencer because he is such a good kid and doesn't do anything to bring attention to himself. We are so proud of him. It is great to see him get recognized!
I'll post pics ASAP!!
