This evening (5/25/11) JFK Jr. High in West Valley, Utah, held their annual awards ceremony and Christopher Freeman was among the honorees. Here he is (in white shirt) on the stage.
Here is Chris with his proud teacher
Chris holds his certificate for demonstrating Outstanding Citizenship during the school year
Now, this is not just any Citizenship award; it is the President's Education Citizenship Award. Which President? How about President Obama?! That's right, The President of the United States--see his name near Chris's left hand. The President sent his apologies for not being here in person. He was tied up in London.
It was a fun ceremony where dozens of 7th, 8th and 9th graders, like Chris were honored. The school's principal conducted. At one point he congratulated all of many honorees and told them their potential was unlimited. "In this country, who knows, one of you might grow up one day to be a Navy Seal Team 6".
After the ceremony Chris's family happily posed with him.

(Now, if you're doubting the validity of this President's certificate, no worries. It was verified by the team that inspected his Hawaii birth certificate)
