End of School

We have reached the end of the school year!  Yeeeaaaahhhhhh!

All three Brown kids rocked this year, and all three are on the Honor Roll, GREAT JOB!

While Nick and Avery were on the Honor Roll all year long, grade wise this Sophomore year was a struggle for Zachary. He wasn't getting bad grades, but they were average grades and while it was understandable...  we still urged him to do better. His classload was heavy, taking Geometry, Advanced World History, Advanced Language Arts, Anatomy, AVID(teaches college level organization skills) not to mention track, gym, digital photography, etc.

Each grade card got better and better for Zachary, and finally this last semester, he made the Honor Roll. We are so proud of you Zachary, you recognized a personal goal, and you made it happen!

Zachary scored so high on Terra Nova that he was exempt from all his finals, but he made the choice to take them as they would only raise his grades, now that is dedication!  He also scored a Internship at the Public Affairs office starting next week, and next year he is taking a Medical class in which he will be performing triage task's at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center.

This morning, he came down and said "Hey, I am Junior now!"  I KNOW, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

Nicky won a Good Citizenship award, as well as getting all A's and B's this year!  And Avery, after 3rd grade being such a disaster, her 4th grade year rocked and I thank God everyday.  This is exactly what she needed this year. She raised her reading Lexile score almost 400 pts from the beginning of the year. Her Math comprehension has completely done a 180, and her teachers are so deserving!

So, for the 2012-2013 school year, I want brownfamthree to know that you are a success! You are a success because you were genuine, you tried your best and in life that is all you can do!

For me, I am so happy that summer is here. No school lunches, no homework folders, no projects, no book bags, nope, nothing, Nada! Sleeping in never sounded so nice.

And while I am aware that this was a complete BRAG post, I know it and I willingly am posting it!  Someday these kiddos will look back, read this and know that all their efforts did not go to waste.  I want brownfamthree to fully understand how proud we are of all three of you, your all great kids, polite, God loving and honorable, we are very much blessed in this family of ours!

Below are some pictures of the kids last week!

"HEY, WAIT, I AM A JUNIOR NOW" 

THIS IS CRAYON ART WE DID FOR AVERY'S THREE TEACHERS, MY INTENT WAS TO MODGE PODGE THE LETTERS CUT OUT FROM MY CRICUT, BUT MY BLADE WASN'T CUTTING THEM RIGHT, SO WE ENDED UP JUST WRITING THEIR NAMES ON THE FRAMES.  ERIC SPRAY PAINTED THE FRAMES, AVERY PICKED OUT THE BUTTONS AND HER AND I WORKED ON CUTTING AND LINING UP CRAYOLA CRAYONS FOR 2 HRS, THESE LETTERS ARE HARDER THAN THEY LOOK TO DO AND I CONSIDER MYSELF PRETTY CRAFTY!!
