Honor Student

Ammon was awarded the "8th Grade Male Student of the Month" at the middle school assembly at the end of January. This is only the 2nd time he's received a Student of the Month award during his 4 years at the middle school, and he was happy to be the recipient of it again!
 
Mr. Goodell, his math teacher, presented the award to him after announcing several of his good traits: he's an excellent student, he's done exceptionally well on math tests, he currently plays on the 8th grade basketball team, and has been one of the fastest middle school runners ever. It was nice to hear so many good things about my son at the assembly, and we are so proud of him for his accomplishments and good attitude this year!  
 
Middle School years can be rough, but Ammon seems to have taken it in stride; especially the last two years. I remember hating the 7th and 8th grade years (teenage girls can be so terrible!), and it's been the opposite for him, for which I am so thankful (#sogladIhavesons)!
 
Oh, and look who's picture was in the local newspaper this week for helping the 7th/8th grade team win the Think Cap Bowl!
