HONOR GIRLS

Ruby Lynn Beighley, age 9. 3rd Grade Honor Roll Graduate. May 25th, 2017.

   Yesterday Marci, Lucy and I attended an Honors Ceremony for Ruby. She and the other 3rd graders who achieved Honor Roll status were celebrated at a special event at the school. The stage at Pugliese West Elementary was decorated with large numerical balloons and name badges for all the kids on stage. (For some reason that we can't figure out, the color scheme seemed to be black and gold instead of the normal black and red school colors. Go Pens?)
   Like all events at that school we all showed up very early so that we could get a seat as close to the front as possible. Honestly, you've never encountered anything like the seat situation at the school. I've had less difficulty trying to get close to the front of Pearl Jam concert! 
   The kiddos all got to come down and shake hands with their teachers, who gave them certificates of achievement and graduation. Ruby had told us earlier that this would be the "most boring ceremony" that they had done at school yet, but for us it was fun to see Ruby all dressed up on stage!

   While this particular celebration was for Ruby's 3rd grade class, she is not the only Beighley girl who made the Honor Roll this year. Lucy also was in the top of her class, and like her big sister before her, made it into the Enrichment classes. Marci and I are so very proud of these kiddos. They work so hard every day! They come home from a long day and then sit right down to work on their homework. They study hard for all their spelling and math tests, and try their best on all sorts of reports and projects. 

GREAT JOB GIRLS! YOU ARE AWESOME!
