We were invited back to the middle school, at the beginning of the week.
This time it was Rylee's turn to be recognized.
She was given an "Award of Excellence" for good character and good work in Health class.This was a surprise to her...but not to us. :)
Jason was off early from work that day, so he got to come too. Rylee tried to pretend she didn't know us after the ceremony, but we hung around really close and made sure everyone knew, we knew her. :)
The second award she received was given to her for her excellence in P.E. She received a "presidential", signed by President Obama himself...or by his pen machine atleast.To receive this, you have to meet certain physical requirements; push-ups, sit-ups, 'beep' test (running), etc. Rylee said she thought it was so HARD in 6th grade, but it was a piece of cake in 8th.
Easy for her to say...I don't think I ever met any national physical test with confidence or skill.

Cookies in the cafeteria afterwards.
Proud of you Rylee. Nice job.
