Graduation Day

Graduation Day!

Today my baby graduated 5th grade. *sob* Here she is in her pretty girl dress.

It was a fairly short ceremony.  There are 3 5th grade classes and each one had different catagories of awards to present. Child #2 received the most awards. They are as follows:

1. Presidents Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement.  (Straight A's all year) She was the only 5th grader to get this award.

2. Honor Roll

3. Perfect Attendance

4. Citizenship

5. Most Helpful Girl in 5th grade

6. Gifted PAAS Vocal Member

7. Recorder Choir Member

She also was one of the few in her class to complete her Accelerated Reading program.

She went up on the stage so many times that some lady behind me whispered to her husband "Geez, that kid needs to give someone else a chance." I laughed. I will not apologize for having a smart kid. And I will definately take some of the credit for all of her success.

I'm so proud of her. She really is the greatest kid.
