Alex had an awards day at school, a 6th grade awards day. She has made good grades all year but they were not "top of the class" award material grades. When they called her name for the Science Effort award I was so very proud of her. That is definitely the most challenging class for her but she does try. I will give her that. She will hang in there, dig in, and try. I was glad to see they had this award - a little recognition for the ones who are not necessarily gifted students but students that will always try hard.
That night, she had her volleyball end of the season party. They had pizza, got awards, and bowled. This was her first year playing volleyball and it is her newest "favorite" sport. She got the most improved 6th grader award and is very excited about the camps they are going to go to this summer and CANNOT WAIT UNTIL NEXT SEASON.
(I still have a lot to learn about my new camera. I got Katie very focused but Alex is just a blur.)
Alex thinks this is the greatest coaching staff she has every played for. Thanks to you guys!!
Since their team won the league in our county and also won the tournament, they received championship shirts, silver necklaces with volleyball charms, and a championship picture. They had a great season and will really miss the 8th grade friends that were a part of their team this year.
