Yay!

So I have to tell a cool little story about Tony's 5th grade graduation day. Before they handed out diplomas (photo below), the principal announced that she had some awards to give out. They were the President's Education Award for outstanding academic excellence. Apparently, if they scored above a 95% on the state test for math or language arts, they got this certificate and letter "from the White House". You get the idea. So anyway, she called 3 kids up to get the Math award and they're all Indian names..lol. So I'm like, 'ok, I get it..this is for the real smarties', when all of a sudden Tony gets his name called!! I was like "who?". He was one of TWO kids out of 81 who got it for Language Arts. I know, right? We were super proud! :)
