JM's week -- Amazing!!! Whiz Kid and Last Middle School Band Concert!


JM and another year as a WHIZ KID!!!

In order to be a Whiz Kid, a student must maintain a B average all year.  
This was easy for him this year as he got all A's!

There was 56 out of 146 8th graders who received this award.

The school does a nice job honoring the students.
They bring in a speaker to encourage the students to keep working hard.

AND

When the students go up to be honored the parents go as well.  The staff thanks the parents for being supportive in education of the child as it takes a team for the students to succeed.


JM was the only boy in 8th grade that dressed-up with a tie.  This was NOT his momma's pushing!!!  He chose it as he said this was an important night!


The entire group of 8th grade award winners.

JM is graduating from 8th grade this year.
So, they are given an EXTRA honor. 

IF the students were able to maintain a B average the entire 3 years in middle school they received a academic medal.  

YES, JM maintain an 'A' average all 3 years!!!
44 of the 8th graders received this award.



I LOVE that JM takes his academics seriously!!!  We AND he realize the Lord has blessed him with an ease of learning.  He LOVES to learn new info -- sometimes WEIRD tidbit info. BUT he loves it -- and that warms this 'teacher' moms heart!!!
The 44 students who earned the three year award.

PLUS

This week JM performed in his last band concert

AS

He has decided to not continue his career in band.  He is hoping to spend his electives on art/graphic kinds of things.

It was a very nice concert and he enjoyed all the music they played.  
He will continue to play his guitar, sing in worship and learn the drums (I'm not thrilled with that one;)) BUT he is finished with a full band 'thing.'
