154. Graduation

Went to Anthony's 6th Grade Promotion today. He is officially a 7th grader... Good by Elementary School, hello Junior High School! Both Allan and myself are very proud of him!
His graduation ceremony was short and sweet. It was a private ceremony just for his class. They sang a couple of songs, including "The Time of my Life" where Anthony accompanied his classmates on the piano.
Anthony was also recognized for having perfect attendance; Only two students out of 31 showed up for school every single day. And Anthony was one of them!
He was also awarded the President's Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence! To qualify for this prestigious award, Anthony had to have had at least a 2 in all subjects from 4th grade until today. He also had to have performed at the Advanced Proficiency level in both Mathematics and Language Arts on all State Test! That is quite an achievement! Anthony was particularly impressed that the Certificate was signed by President Obama!
So all in all, it was a very good year for Anthony and I hope he continues to make us proud!
