"so proud of my girl"

Middle School is over for Nicole. (thank goodness!)
This entire post is a huge brag board today.
The awards assemble was yesterday for the 8th graders.
My daughter rocks. She got a plaque and award for earning a 4.0 GPA for all three years of middle school. Her ENTIRE middle school career and she kept up a perfect GPA. Pretty impressive. Especially since she is a social butterfly and plays sports all year round. Look at her plaque! :) So proud of her. Can't stop gushing about it. ......and she also got an award for outstanding academic achievement from the President's Education Awards Program. And a letter signed by the President of the United States and a pin. Again, so proud and what an acheivment!! Was quite the proud mama when she went up to accept it in front of her entire 8th grade class and bleachers full of parents. I went solo, since LeRoy was at work.

Not only is she smart, she is adorable too! My other girls, Cassandra and Jasmine.

After the awards we didn't make the kids go back to school, we all took them to Red Robin for lunch. Here are some of their friends. Nice group of kids.

This picture speaks for itself. I love these goofy girls. On to high school.......................

Then later they had their 8th grade celebration party back at the school. They thought it was boring so we only stayed for a little while.

So then they inform me that they wanted to do an 8th grade last hurrah at school. They cleared it with the principle and janitors. After the party was over and everyone was gone about 12 of their girlfriends had hatched a plan. Earlier in the day we all went to the dollar store and bought balloons and streamers. So at 10:00 pm we all headed back to the school (principle let us in) and all the girls made posters for the 8th grade hall and hung balloons and streamers down the entire hallway.

and the principle let them move their favorite teachers entire classroom into the gym. Desks, podium and all. Hilarious! So when the teacher got to school today his classroom was empty and was set up in the gym exactly like his classroom. Cool that the principle let them pull it off and they were hyper and had a good time. Today was last day. 1/2 day then we went to pick up Tyler and I took them out to lunch. Ahhhhhh......................summer begins........................................
