Jenna has graduated from Middle
School. Her last day was yesterday and
there was a promotion celebration last night.
The principal passed out a few awards.
The first one was for perfect attendance. She and Kylee had both received perfect
attendance awards that day. Jenna had
not missed any school - including the Monday after spring break when I told her
she could stay home. Kayla's family
didn't leave until about an hour after she returned.
The promotional award for 100%
attendance went to Kylee who had not missed a day in three years. I don't recall Jenna having ever missed a
class in sixth grade, but know she had missed some during seventh grade. She had missed the last two days when we left
Oregon to go back to Utah for Jeanie's funeral.
The last award given was for special recognition
for outstanding student. The buildup was
one who dressed up for every Spirit day, was always kind to everybody, a happy
individual, a great example and more. I
could see Jenna's peers telling saying her name and Jenna denying it. But guess
what? It was her! She was surprised and I was ecstatic! She deserved that award.
My baby will be starting high school
this fall. High School!!! I remember when she was born and I held her
in my arms. She is taller than me
now. I LOVE Jenna so much. She is awesome!
