End of the School Year

Both of our girls had another amazing year at school. They both received all A’s all year long. That makes two years straight! That’s quite a record!!

For Mackenna, as an eighth grader, she took two high school classes, Algebra and Spanish. So, she already has two high school credits completed before she even attends high school.

At awards night, she received an award for academic excellence. It is called the President’s Award and is “signed” by President Obama. She also received an award for the all A Honor Roll.

There was a separate awards night for Spanish classes. She was so excited that her Grammy was visiting from Ohio and was able to attend this event. Mackenna had fun performing in a group presentation and then she received an award for academic excellence. Only a few were chosen for this special award. We are so proud of her!!!

For Alexa, as a fourth grader, she had a great year, too! She really loved her teachers and has really come out of her shell. She had a Poetry Café in her classroom and she volunteered to be a speaker (yes, she really did volunteer to speak in public…we were shocked and thrilled!). Grammy was able to attend this event, also. There were many parents, some grandparents and all of the students in her class in the audience. She was a speaker and had to read one of her poems. She was fabulous!

Alexa's award ceremony was right after the Poetry Café. She received a special award for outstanding writing and for "writing with pizazz!" She received awards for outstanding reading achievement, all A’s honor roll and the Perfectly Punctual Award. Her classmates voted her “Future President of the United States.” We are so proud of her, too!!!
