Golden Scholar and School's OUT!!!

This may be a bit of a brag post because we are so proud of Kam!  Another year has gone by and she has rocked it!  Today was the last day of 7th grade.  At the first of the year, Kam was so nervous about going to a new school where she didn't know anyone as it wasn't the Junior High her Elementary feeds into.  She made great friends from day one and has become really outgoing.  My favorite part of the day (and Owen's too!) is picking her up after school and hearing every single detail about her day. 

Today was the Golden Scholar award ceremony recognizing the students that have held a 3.8GPA or higher throughout the year.  Kam far exceeded that, ending the year with a 4.4GPA!!!  She has 4 honors classes this year and she will add one more to her 8th grade schedule.  I am seriously so proud!!!  This past weekend I asked her if she was planning on studying for finals and she looked at me like I was crazy... "I don't have to study mom, they are easy."  Of course they are.  She was right and just about aced them all.  I always tell her how talented she is because I don't want her to ever forget this gift she has been given.  We love you so much Sis and we are proud of you!!

This wasn't the first year she was awarded Golden Scholar.  She has made this high honor each year since 4th grade, when you are first eligible.  In fact, she has only ever had one B+ ever and the rest have been A's.  Told you I was going to brag a bit... but she deserves it! 

Fourth Grade.

Fifth Grade.
Sixth Grade.

We are not as sad as Kam that school is over for the summer.  She will miss her friend and the fun that comes along with Junior High, but we are glad she is home!!  For the next two weeks, we will sleep in, eat breakfast as slow as we want, lounge around in our pjs and swim.  Dance will take priority .. and there is a lot of dance coming up!  Then we will prepare to spend our summer in Palo Alto. 

 

So long 7th grade.. you have been good to our girl!
