A Little Bragging

The boys are finishing up their school year.

It's the first time Nolan has been in public school since the first grade but that was an eternity ago!

This was Connor's first year in the public arena.

I think it's safe to say that they were very grounded in their primary education.

They have done well for themselves this year and we are very proud of them.

They worked hard all year.

For starters they go to school 40 minutes away in another time zone.
That is a challenge in and of itself!
Now, let's not pretend for one minute that this school year was perfect.

There were some bumps along the way.

However, this post is dedicated to bragging somewhat about their achievements this year.

Early in the school year Nolan was an Algebra II student of the month and

Connor was a student of the month for 7th grade.

They both made honor roll all year.

They both earned a spot on their respective National Honor Societies for middle/high school.

They've both made a reputation among the teachers and staff as being good students and role models.

We were aware that Connor was receiving an award of some kind for academics.

We had no idea it was four!

For each of the subject awards there were GPA high marks to maintain and
work ethics to show to receive those.

REACH stands for Raising Expectations And Challenging Habits.

To earn this the student has to meet certain criteria all year regarding

things like character, habits, scholarship, leadership, etc.

There were several 7th graders that received this recognition.

As they stood these students on stage they told the rest

of the 7th and 8th graders to emulate these students.

What an honor.

I'm not sure which award this was for...

The junior high awards were during the day but he high school awards were in the evening.
The high school honor society helped serve a delicious meal before the awards ceremony.

Nolan earned some academic awards too.
Again, we knew it was at least one.
He also earned four!

We learned that this is done for every class (yes, the ceremony was long).
They have set the bar pretty high for next year.
