all hail the honor student

this was sarah's 1st, and hopefully not last, honor roll assembly for middle school. this is her first one ever for that matter. they don't do them in our elementary school here. (whatever!)

anyhoo, the story behind this is that she set a goal to make straight a's this quarter. the week of finals she had almost all a's except a few b's in a couple of classes. of course she was sick finals week and had to really hussle to get those last few assignments done to bring up her grades. she did bring up 2 out of the 3 b's, but we wouldn't know for sure with math until she made up the final she missed while out sick. so she takes the test and totally aces it! yahoo!

to get an a you have to have 89.5% or above. guess what she ended up with?????? 89.3%!!!! are you kidding me????? i asked her if she asked her teacher for a quick extra credit. no! hopefully she will be more aggressive with that next time if she needs to be.

we are proud of her nonetheless. keep your fingers crossed for this quarter. so far, so good.

as you can see she really likes being in front of large audiences. the nerdettes.
