Honors Assembly

I was really happy to be able to attend the elementary school Honors Assembly today.  This was the first time 3rd graders were honored in an assembly, which was extra special for us since our 3rd grader was one who was honored!  3rd grade is also the first year students at our school get letter grades.

The principal reads each student's name, the counselor hands students their certificate--as well as a coupon for a free kids' meal at Subway--and then each teacher of their grade shakes the student's hand and congratulates them.  Then their pictures are taken for the newspaper.

Caeden was on the All-A Honor Roll.  

After school, I told Caeden I was very proud of him for working so hard and getting all A's, and he told me that he didn't--it was easy!

Sylvia received all A's too.  

Sylvia is very serious about her grades, and so far has received all A's on every report card in elementary school.  Even though her classes are mostly easy for her so far, she is working hard to develop good study skills and says she wants to get her Phd and find a cure for cancer one day.

Annah also received all A's for the semester, but our jr high doesn't have an assembly to recognize those students.  In fact, paper report cards aren't even sent home at the junior high level now; we have to go online to see their grades.  But we are proud of our junior higher too!  And we are very thankful that our kids really love learning!
