Well, the semester is over, final exams are done, and both Sylvia and Caeden lived through it all.  

Academically, Caeden was definitely a freshman boy--unorganized and unfocused for most of the semester--but, he did really well on all of his exams.  I don't know many kids who actually bring their grades UP with final exams, but he did.  Just proves that he is capable and needs to focus better. 

Sylvia works so hard on her classes all of the time, and studied extra hard for exams.  She even got A's in Chemistry 2 and Pre-Calc.  We are always in awe of her drive and academic determination.

The school Winter WonderCan drive has been going on during December, and this week the mentoring classes competed to build a holiday display with their cans.  

Here is a video "commercial" Sylvia's class made during the campaign to remind students to bring in their cans.
