hello, high school

we had a great time celebrating
Joseph's graduation from eighth grade.
he even let me take a few photos...
posed for a couple, then attempted to escape!
i think he had a good time in middle school.  i got the impression that he's a friend to many & also has some close buddies from his small, accelerated math class.  it's been, i think, a year of being top o' the heap & enjoying success in many parts of his school life.  so, good-bye middle school . . .

Joseph was asking me 'Why?'  Well, Joseph, because you are  g r a d u a t i n g  (something) !
it was a looooong ceremony.  many names read from the stage; many awards given out.  Joseph & several of his crew were recognized for straight-A's.  he worked hard to make top grades all three years of middle school, and we are so proud of him!

Joseph also earned a Science Award
for highest gpa in that subject....his favorite!

gold cord for straight-A's; green&white ribbon for Science.
Joseph & his good friend Daniel

we are all so proud of you!  great job, Joseph!
