How did I get so blessed to have an amazing son? Since he was born Justin has had a “huge caring heart” a great disposition and has always been an incredible son. Not only is he proving to be a great athlete he is an outstanding student at school.
We always tell him ... Attitude and effort = Achievement
Today they had an Awards Ceremony at school and Justin did us proud. He received the highest honor a 1st grader could receive.
Outstanding Character Award … an award for showing outstanding character throughout the year! – Responsibility, Caring, Respect, Trustworthiness, Fairness and Citizenship
He also received an award for Excellent Attendance … Justin was present for ALL school days this year except for the ONE day I made him stay home cause he had a tummy ache. He begged to go but that day but I thought he would be uncomfortable at school. UGH … who would have thought that ONE day would be his only day he missed this year and eliminated him from the LIMO ride for the few kids that did have perfect attendance. What a blessing it is to have a child who loves school and WANTS to go to school everyday!

I’m super proud of his awards but my bursting with pride moment came when I opened his report card tonight! Since Kindergarten Justin has struggled with Reading and has excelled in Math. At the beginning of the year he tested below grade average and was assigned to a small reading group. This past year Justin has worked really hard and spent extra time practicing his reading at home. His dedication and determination has paid off. 2 weeks ago Justin tested at a 2nd Grade Reading level.
His report card has the proof … 4th Quarter Reading = Grade Level!
