8th Grade Graduation!

There are so many things to be proud of with this kid!  Last night was the 8th grade promotion.  Middle school is over and we will now send our first born out to chart the new territory of high school.  She was awarded the "Academic Excellence Award" for maintaining a 4.0 GPA throughout all three middle school years.  What an accomplishment!  She set out to earn that honor on the first day of middle school three years ago and relentlessly pursued her goal.  We were even able to count her Honors Algebra grade on her high school transcript because she earned an "A" in the class.  (We had been holding out on making that decision until all 4th quarter grades were in because the teacher did not recommend posting the grade to the high school transcript if it was not an "A".)
 
Besides good grades, Mason won the hearts of all of her teachers with her kindness, motivation, and helpful demeanor.  She also has the best group of friends that a mom could hope for.  There is lots of laughter, no drama, lots of support, and all of them are solid hard working kiddos.  We could not have had a better middle school experience!  This kid has set the bar high for her siblings!  We love you, May-May!
