'Mom Brag' about JD

So, humor me........let me brag about our son! JD won 3 awards at the Sunnyslope Elementary School Awards ceremony yesterday!!!

• The 'Flashlight Award'-given by the Librarian to the students who have developed a LOVE for reading. She awarded them with a cool flashlight and encouraged them to read under the cover.


• The President's Achievement Award-for his achievement this year.


• Most Improved Student Award-given to one boy and one girl in the school. (I have the report cards to show it!)

We are so very proud of JD and his accomplishments and his diligence to persevere with his dyslexia. He has worked very hard these last two years. He has had a terrific tutor and outstanding teachers and one encouraging principal. We are encouraged and hopeful that he will continue to grow and learn more about his learning challenges. He has a great attitude and never gives up! We are indeed very proud parents and it is so awesome to see the benefits of changing schools two years ago.

Anyway, I was a bawling mom at the assembly and couldn't get a photo of him receiving his 'most improved student' trophy, but here's one of him and his buddy Kaleb with their trophies. Kaleb won the Outstanding Student Award! Way to go, Kaleb!
