Children and parents alike attended the AWANA awards ceremony on April 27.
The final night of AWANA found kids in their uniforms waiting to be awarded for their hard work throughout the school year. The event started at 6:30 p.m. and took place at the Plainview High School, with the award presentation occurring in the library. Cookies were shared after everyone had received their awards.
First, the volunteers who regularly came to help children with their activities were acknowledged and awarded for their time and work.
These volunteers include: Brittani Gutz, Braedon and Corben Kment, Reagan and Josie Choat, Kadyn, Kaliantha, Karik and Korbyn Shires.
