Whitney 9th Grade Cheer Pictures

After two years of cheerleading and being 9th grade cheer captain Whitney hung up her pom poms. She will really miss it. She was exhausted with practice twice a week and games twice a week plus trying to stay up on piano and schoolwork. High school cheer is double the load and she wants to take AP classes in the fall. She had a lot of fun with these girls and made some great friends and will miss cheering on her friends who play sports. She would love to do it all if she had a time turner like Hermione!

Whitney wins $10,000 scholarship for 1st place at State History Competition

We were excited when Whitney was eligible to go to Boise for the state competition. We knew we had an excuse to go out of town for a couple of days. We were kind of lame and didn't even bring a camera. I guess that tells you the confidence we must of had in her or the attitude that Whitney had about her project she wasn't going to win she was just going for the party with her class mates. We were surprised when she took 1st place in her division for an individual exhibit. There were some amazing exhibits. First they announced her as the 1st place winner and she received $350 from Boise State.
Then they announced that her exhibit was the best project out of all the categories entered this included papers, documentaries, performances and websites. She was the recipient for the Thucydides scholarship for $10,000. Daddy is happy it will help his wallet.

Whitney Wins 1st Place at Regional History Competition

Whitney won 1st place at regionals for her exhibit on "Did We Have The Right To Test? Linus Pauling and The Petition For A Test Ban Treaty." The theme for this year was Conflict and Compromise. Her exhibit was based on Linus Pauling's research and the hazards of nuclear tests on the futures health and the environment. Linus was a double Nobel laureate. He encouraged a nuclear test ban treaty with demonstrations and speeches. The American government didn't appreciate his negative reactions. The government accused him of being a communist and took his passport away and made him testify at several senate committee hearings. It was an exciting topic. Whitney qualifies for the state competition in April in Boise. Road trip in April!
