The Pride Cycle!

The last few weeks have had several "Pay Days" for us as parents.
Our children have been recognized in many ways.
Harold's uncle once told me we should not have pride in our children--
but that we should be pleased at the choices they make
and the things they accomplish!

I try hard to remember that each time my children succeed,
But this week I am just busting with pride. . .
Brandon graduated from Murray High School!
At the Graduation Ceremony,
Brandon was recognized as one of six students
who maintained a 4.0 for four years of high school!
Brandon received the Rotary Award for Top Ten Students from MHS.
Brad at 9th Grade Promotion
Brad received the Clove Award for Social Studies.
The Clove Award is named after a former Murray superintendent
and is given to students who excel in different subject areas.
The Clove Award came with $100
and so did 100% Attendance!
Blake completed his Eagle Project!
Gwen received the "M&M" Award
for Outstanding Academics and Citizenship.

Okay enough Pride . . .
Who wouldn't be "pleased" with these children?
