So proud of Madison

On Friday we got a letter in the mail inviting us to an awards ceremony on Monday at the middle school. Madison was getting an award but it didn't say what. I was excited at the prospect and excited because Madison had no idea. The letter said to keep it a secret so we did. The first award Madison got was in PE. She received the National award in fitness. I am just amazed at her. I never did well on those fitness tests in PE and she scored 50% or above on all the tests. Only about 50 kids in the whole sixth grade did so it isn't an easy thing to do. Next she got an award for the most growth. I knew at the beginning of the year that she was going to make it through this year and shine. All of Madison's teachers were so concerned about her and invested a lot of time into her. I am so proud of her perseverance. The final award that she got was for her grades. She was able to maintain a 3.5 to 3.9 gpa for the whole year. That means that she was on the honor roll the whole year. Kevin and I can not express how proud we are of her. She is such an amazing daughter. She even finished the year out with a 4.0 for the final quarter. Way to go Madison!!! We are so proud of you. You are an amazing daughter.
