My Athletic Scholar is On the Right Track!

By

Though the official the last day of the school year isn’t until Friday, my daughter’s track team had an end of the season celebration at Urban Air. Part of the celebration was acknowledging some of the track members for their accomplishments.

Maybe it’s a good thing that I wasn’t in attendance because I would have been cheering and clapping loudly and probably embarrassed Quinn as she was recognized as a scholar athlete with a 4.0 GPA. I’m so grateful that she understands the importance of working hard not just with athletics but academics too.

I’m also appreciative of her coaches who celebrated this achievement and emphasized the importance of being a well-rounded student.

All the best,

Tanya

Soaring High in School!

By

With three weeks down and many more to go, my sixth grader is off to a fantastic start, and I am so proud of her. Since kindergarten, Quinn has been the first in her class to earn an award at the first school assembly, and she kept the streak going today! Starting a new school year, with new teachers, classmates and trying to adjust and make new friends can be difficult. I know it was for me, but Quinn is soaring high and was the only student in her class to receive the Golden Talon award for her self control and being a model student.

I’m hoping this is an indication of how wonderful this school year will be for her, full of great memories and growth.

All the best,

Tanya

The Triple “A” Call I Love Making: Celebrating My Daughter’s Hard Work

By

Most people associate triple A with vehicle troubles, but I learned this past Friday that that’s not always the case. My fourth grader came home excited to share with me that she was the first of the school year to earn the triple A: All Achievement Award for classroom focus, effort, and desire to learn.

Though I am proud of Quinn, I’m not at all surprised. She loves school and learning so much. But even still, I don’t take her focus, efforts and desire to learn for granted, especially as I struggle to keep many of the college students I teach motivated and encouraged to learn.

I can only hope that she continues to have the intrinsic motivation to learn and put forth her best efforts as a student and person well into adulthood.

All the best,

Tanya
