Avery came home with a cryptic note that she would be receiving an award for the end of year 8th ceremony. We would find out what it was at the event...She ended up winning the Excellence in Language Arts Award for her team (The Eagles which has about 150 students). She was nominated by her teacher Mr. Capin who she struggled with during the year - Didn't always love his teaching style, would be frustrated by how he graded projects and generally thought he didn't like her. It is his last year and he is headed to retirement and maybe a little cranky....But he was able to challenge Avery and ultimately recognize her special skills in reading and writing. I couldn't have picked a better award for her to receive - She was a little shocked but excited. We ended the night with a celebratory dinner at Charleston's. SO proud of my sweet and smart girl. She is ready for high school.
