No, I am not tooting our own horn about Ms. T, but she literally was an outstanding achiever tonight. She participated in a Hall of Fame event for Junior Achievement in Cedar Rapids. It was was black tie event (her first) and there were about 600 people in attendance. She was awesome!! Her job was to escort one of the nominees (more on him later) into the ballroom and then up to the stage for his presentation and then back to his seat.
Here she is practicing with another girl who helped with the presentation. And with Emcee Beth Malicki from KCRG Channel 9. She was so great with the kids!
Teagan and Blake, another Williamsburg student who participated tonight. Williamsburg represented well :) Blake read the invocation and did a great job.
The girls taking advantage of a photo op with Beth.
This is blurry, but hey, they were on the move!! Teagan got to escort Jon Kinzenbaw, who is from Williamsburg and was being inducted. It was special that a local student got to take part in it with him, but also that my mom has worked for him for almost 30 years. Like I said, there were almost 600 people there and Teagan rocked it. She walked him right where they needed to be and did this momma proud :)
While Jon was speaking she waited up on stage for him. My little girl is so big!
And here we are! We didn't plan our body placement well - notice Brad's shoulder and up spot in the back. Sorry honey! Anyway, the important people are front and center! Jon is really an amazing man and has given so much to our community. He continues to lead not only as an entrepreneur, but as a role model to many people. Thanks to Junior Achievement for the opportunity and a great night.
shut up that is so awesome! go T!
