Less expensive?!?! C'mon - don't sell yourself short!!! You're worth EVERY PENNY!!!
I'd sell it as "at least I didn't ask for a Porsche..."
BTW - I'm really scratching my head on this one. I was unaware it is now stylish to opt for cash/prizes instead of the traditional high school class ring. I really must be a complete meanie - because if my youngins didn't want one, I would not buy one. Period. ...and their grades had better be in the range that I'd be tempted to buy one in the first place!!!
