2nd Quarter Honors

I reported in the "Report Card Field Trip" post about the great job my smart guys did during the 2nd quarter of school. Last Thursday, Tanner had an honors assembly at his school to recognize his hard work.

Kallie, with one of her babies, waiting patiently for the program to begin...

There's Tanner!

Tanner was recognized for academic excellence (all As) & meeting his AR goal

After each teacher handed out her class awards, Mrs. Gallop (the principal) talked about the leadership qualities they strive to instill & hope to see in their students. A Leadership Award was given to one student from each class who exhibited those skills during the 2nd grading period. Guess who Mrs. Burkett chose from her class? Tanner Bowens!!

Tanner was so proud of his awards & the new pins added to his lanyard. (By the way, he knows how many everyone has...)

The 1st quarter honors assembly was postponed at Causey Middle because of weather. Well, they never rescheduled it, & ended up combining it with the 2nd quarter honors program. Guess who didn't know about the program?! Taylor Bowens' parents!! We were so upset we missed it (I try not to miss ANYTHING!). Taylor came home & handed us his awards. After seeing our incredulous looks, he assured us that they didn't tell them about the program & he had NO IDEA they were having it that day. Strangely, he admitted that, yes, some other parents were there. Wonder how they knew...  

Oh well, whether there's a program or not, whether we (sadly) miss it or not, we're so proud of our smart guys & happy that they continue to be honored at school!
