ACE Convention 2010 - Part I

Well what a wild and crazy week it has been at the 2010 Heatland Student Convention!!!  We spent the week at Ball State University with our school, Frankfort Covenant Academy, participating in over 50 categories!  Our kids did GREAT and we are SO proud of all of them!!!  I must brag on Talon, after all, he is my very own, so...he entered 10 catergories and brought home medals in 7 of those catergories, YEA!!!  We, Jerry and I, are SO proud of you Talon!!!  He received the following: 1st place with the Radio Broadcast team, 2nd place with the Small Ensemble, 2nd place in the1600 Meter Run, 2nd with his Clown Act, 3rd with the Mixed Quartet, 4th with the Boy's Basketball Team & 6th with the Boy's 400 Meter Relay team!  Enjoy this first part of many, many pictures -- I will try to get the rest of what I plan on putting on here, by early next week.

  1. Thanks for posting these. No one had any on fb yet. Don't know if you want to fix em, but a few of the places are off a slot one way or the other. Tony has the document on the school website if you wanna hassle with it.
