8th Grade Graduation!



Tonight, Jonathan had his 8th Grade Completion and Awards Ceremony.  We went to the high school, where each of the students marched and received their respective honors.  Jonathan rocked the house, earning all kinds of awards for academics and citizenship.  He received:

--Viking Gold Scholar Award (3.95 GPA or higher all year)
--Viking Club Attendance Award (no unexcused absences)
--Viking Citizen Award (outstanding citizenship)
--Excellence in Spanish, Excellence in Drawing, and Excellence in Science awards
--Viking On Board Award (for getting all 3 academics, citizenship, and attendance awards)
--We the People Award (for participation in the state-winning constitution competition team!)
--Completion Award (for reading 25 books this semester)
oh, yes, and the --8th Grade Completion Certificate

After the Ceremony, all the kids headed over to the junior high for a dance and party.  They had a blast!  It's so fun to see Jonathan growing up and doing well...and having such a great group of friends with whom to do it!
