End of Year Awards

In the elementary and middle school, they do end of year awards and certificates. The last day of school is really just about that as they only go to school for two hours and one hour respectively. It hardly seemed worth sending them but Quinton and Declan both insisted on going to get their awards.  

Declan is the kind of guy who is never sick and if he is he will never admit to the fact. He will go to school regardless of how he feels, hence, the attendance certificate. Declan also received a participation award for the say no to drugs program he volunteered to take part in. Declan ended the year with really good grades all A's and B's and he put in a lot of hard work to get them.

Quinton's 7th grade football team were 1st place Conference Champs and Quinton played right tackle.

Quinton also did Track and Field doing a variety of events: 4x1 relay, 4x2 relay, 100m dash, long jump, high jump, and discus.

Quinton also did very well academically; he was on the honor roll and although he is a seventh grader he is in eighth grade math (pre-algebra) where he tied for the highest score in all the pre-algebra classes with an eighth grade girl.  

My sister Ashlee waxed so fond of her days (high school) in Knowledge Bowl to Quinton that he decided to sign up. He attended meets all around this area traveling up to two hours to compete with other schools. At knowledge bowl, they a take test and answer questions as a team and compare the right answers with the other schools. Quinton's favorite part was that the hosting school would provide refreshments.

McCoy finished first grade with flying colors

First grade doesn't do awards but McCoy got an excellent report card and by the end of first grade they are supposed to be to a reading level of "I" and McCoy is at a "S" reading level.  McCoy really loves school and all the drawing and coloring they get to do.
