4th Grade in the Books

Claire enjoyed her first and last year at Scholarship Prep Academy. Her teacher really understood Claire and was a lot of fun. She made new friends and was able to be in the same class as her cousin for a year. Her last day is later this week. Today she got an award for academics and an award from her dance elective teacher for having the best attitude all year. 

Some pictures from her Gold Rush Day.

Jane's Life

Jane continues to play the piano and we were finally able to get a real piano for her. 

She loves that she doesn't have to use the keyboard anymore.

 A couple weeks ago Jane passed out in our hallway. She hit her hip and her head really hard. Her Dr. told us to go in to the hospital to get some testing done. All tests came back normal so we're crossing our fingers that it never happens again.

 She got the 4.0 award, Science award, Math award, and Millionaire Reader award at the end of her first year of middle school. Yay!

Eagle Paperwork

Bruce FINALLY got his Eagle Scout paperwork submitted to the district office. Hallelujah! He had to get 5 reference letters. He got letters from his high school English teacher, golf coach, YM President, former primary teacher, and Robert. He had to include pictures of the progression and completion of the project, get a ton of signatures and fill out very detailed paperwork. He also had to include a personal goal letter. It probably took longer to do the paperwork than it did to do the project! We were all relieved when the lady taking his paperwork said that everything looked like it was in order. Now he waits to hear about his Board of Review interview. So. Darn. Close. It's a huge weight off.

 We also put all of his merit badges on his sash. 

They represent all of the hard work Bruce has put forth over the years. 

Middle School Promotion

Linda finished up her last year of middle school. She did a great job! She got one B her 6th grade year and the rest As for all three years. She worked so hard! She had fun at all of the end of the year events. She had a beach day, an 8th grade dance, and a promotion ceremony. I'm even more proud of Linda for the great person and example I know she was during her middle school years. 

New adventures await her in high school!
