Six people—three men and three women—are standing side-by-side and smiling at the camera after a presentation. Two of the women hold floral arrangements, and two people are holding framed certificates. The event room is decorated for a holiday celebration.

A man in a suit stands behind a lectern and speaks into a microphone while presenting a framed certificate to two women standing beside him on a stage.

Three women stand together, with the woman in the middle holding a framed certificate. They are smiling at the camera after an award presentation.

Three women are seated together at a round table reserved for "Hawfields Middle School." They are smiling at the camera, with a large, festive centerpiece of red and white flowers on the table in front of them. Other attendees are visible in the background.

A group of five people, including two women smiling at the camera, are seated at a round table during a formal indoor event. A centerpiece of red and white flowers and greenery is in the middle of the table, which is set with coffee cups and printed programs.
