(Warning: extreme bragging alert!)
We have had an amazing school year with teachers that have not only taught and trained my children, but teachers who have became great friends! Have I mentioned how much I love our school? :)
Lauren excelled in First grade and Jacob thrived in Kindergarten. They both loved going to school, and it was the best year we've had thus far.
Days before the last day of school, I was contacted by both teachers, letting me know both kiddos were chosen for the GOAL award (Godliness, Obedience, Academic excellence and Leadership). Only 4 children were chosen from each class, and these kids were awarded for being outstanding the entire year in one of these areas).
Jake was awarded the Leadership award because as Mrs. Cooper said, he does the right thing even when it's hard to do and loves the Lord so much, which he shares with friends and shows in action:
Lauren was awarded the Godliness award, for always doing what's honoring and pleasing to God. She is an example to her classmates, and Mrs. Foster went on and on about her achievements :)
The next day, we went to Yeo's year end award ceremony and this boy cleaned house! He got a total of 13 awards(!!), ranging from leadership to academic excellence (he has over a 5.0 GPA, ranking him top 3 in his class).
Our school is small, but we have very high standards in academics and Godly character training. All that to say, earning these awards were no easy feat. They 'beat' out many classmates, and I cannot say enough how proud I am of these kids. They are intelligent, hard working and they love the Lord (well, we're still working on the hard-headed teenage one :))
Way to go Brown kids... I can't wait to see who you become in the next year. I am so proud of you three!
