Makayla's Award

We had gotten an invitation to an award ceremony for Makayla in the mail a few weeks ago. When we asked her about it she had no clue what it was for. She knew very little about the ceremony except for what we told her which was information from the letter. When we arrived and recieved a program we all tried to guess what she was getting an award for. My original quess before viewing the program was for her participation in the Duke TIP program. After seeing the program I knew that wasn't the case because he scores were below the criteria, barely. After seeing the program, my quess was right. Makayla recieved an award for honor roll. Each 6 weeks she made the honor roll! It was exciting and quite an achievement for her. We always keep close track of her grades due to her being in level one classes and her gymnastics. We never really knew except once that she made the honor roll because she never came home with the usual propoganda. Not sure why. We are very proud of her!

Unfortunately she did miss the Duke TIP award for reaching the state level of acheivement for taking her SATs in the 7th grade. The minimum criteria was to make a minimum of 510 on the math portion. Makayla made a 490. :( Poor Makayla...
