As every mom knows, the only month busier than December for moms, is May, otherwise known as Maycember.
May=Awards!
This is Luke and some of his 7th grade classmates that got invited to Awards night!
We were thrilled Luke was receiving awards!
Luke and his bestie friend Michael.
Luke and his bestie mom, me :)
Luke Michael rocked 7th grade!
Certificate of Excellence in Robotics and A/B Honor Roll.
Luke got one B+ in math for one semester, but got an A the second semester. So I asked him,"Don't you think it would have been awesome to study, like I don't know, maybe once this year so you could have been on Principal's List?" (by moving that B+ to an A)
He responded, "I do not see that worth the effort to get one more certificate."
Sigh.
Still proud but sigh.
This girl had a big spring and we could not be more proud!
We got an invitation to the School Board meeting in front of all the big wigs, where Amelia would be receiving an award.
Well, she ended up receiving two much to our surprise and delight!
Here she is being awarded scholar athlete for the Girls Tennis Team for having the highest GPA!
You amaze us everyday Amelia!
And THEN she got called up to receive another award for being in the
30+ Club because she got a 33 on her ACT!
We are loving watching you shine Amelia Grace!
You are going to do big things!
This little bit loved winter basketball so much, she signed up for spring basketball as well. I mean, it's not like we were busy or anything, ha!
We made it work :)
This special night, Addison scored her career high, 8 points!!
This outtake I had to include...
look at that pink blur coming toward her, that is her brother probably:
a. trying to scare her
b. trying to photobomb
c. most likely both
Stephen and I feel very proud and blessed when our kids get academic awards and recognition, it is awesome. It is truly something special and warms our heart when they receive character awards. When teachers go out of their way to email us about our kids and the kindness or compassion they showed, it makes me prouder than anything else.
Luke received an award from his team of teachers called "Right Hand Man"-"For Always being there to help, whenever help is needed."
Every teacher this year that we corresponded with told us how much they love Luke, what an absolute joy it was to have him in class and what a good kid he is. I can't tell you how important that is for parents to hear when they have a 13 year old boy, ha! It seems that maybe he has been listening to us!
Luke also volunteered as a teacher helper during VBS week, in the first grade class. This is what the teacher sent me in a text after they worked together...
"Just wanted to tell you what a joy it was to work with Luke in VBS. Luke is the son everyone wants. He is bright, personable, friendly, a hard worker. The kids in class loved him as did Hanna and I. Luke also socialized and got on stage with the other youth to dance and sing. We had 4 rowdy, lovable little boys that responded to him better than to me. I don't know what we would have done without him."
I sobbed when I got that text. What a beautiful thing to hear about your child.
As a reminder, sweet Amelia also got a character award this spring from her tennis coaches for her outstanding attitude and work ethic. Yay Mimi!
Little Miss here was a standout in the fourth grade.
She cleaned house at awards day.
The trophy is for Academic Excellence in Accelerated Reading
First place in Fourth Grade
She also received awards for:
The highest overall Math grade
The highest overall English/Language Arts grade
Endless Encourager Award:for always encouraging your classmates!
Way to go Addison! We are loving watching you succeed!
Addison's teachers would often write us the sweetest emails about Addison throughout the year and we cherished them. (Especially on those challenging days).
One such email:
"Addison is a dream student and I am going to miss her so much next year...she is definitely my number one sidekick. Thank you for sending a polite, smart, and creative child to my classroom every day. I always tell her to remember me when she is a famous author one day!"
So sweet and so thankful for all of the awesome teachers that have encouraged Addison to reach for the stars this year!
