So, my eight year old brought home a few awards: highest honors for maintaining straight A's, Math ST award (a math software program that only a handful of students completed and one that he completed ahead of everyone else), Perfect Attendance (okay, I don't give much credence to this one but I suppose I ought to applaud it as well).
His older brother (at the same grade) used to bring home multiple math awards. In fact, RJ was the first in the history of the school to achieve a perfect score on a math wizard competition. Quite an accolade for my now soon to be sophomore in high school. He's slated to take predominantly honors classes next year. His dad has gotten on his case for neglecting his studies (in lieu of his social life). As long as he maintains an above 4.0 GPA, I fail to see a cause for concern.

ReplyDeleteI too am worried about your absence. You are such an example of faith, peace and perserverance to many.
