Our 5th Grade Graduate

Really? Our daughter is going to middle school??? How on earth did that happen??? I'll take a minute to brag on my little girl. Not only is she extremely beautiful, but so smart as well. She earned the highest academic award for 5th graders. The Presidential Academic Excellence Award. Quite stringent criteria had to be met in order to earn this award including an A- average over the last two years of school and 90 or better on ITBS reading and math, amongst other things. She did it. I was suprised and oh so proud when they called her name as the recipient of this award. I must say it is quite scary to be sending her on her next leg of the school journey. How will I ever be ready to send her out the door this fall to 6th grade????

And we ended the night with a little celebration of the grad at happy joes after the boys were done with baseball.
