6th Grade Graduation

We had a wonderful morning with Keiffer's 6th grade graduation. He was honored with a Hope of America award from the Kiwanis club. If you don't know what that is, read about it here. Each 6th grade teacher selects 2 students so there were only 6 awarded today from the 3 classes. He also recieved a Gold President's Award for Educational Excellence and was recognized for participating in Discovery Lab and Math Olympiad.

Keiffer will be attending Provo High next year. They are starting a program for gifted 7th and 8th graders and he was accepted. We are a little nervous about him being in the high school, but they have had a similar program in SLC for 20 years with great success. He of course, doesn't want to be away from all his friends. But we believe it will push him to be an even better student and benefit him in the long run.

Okay, I am done bragging now.
