Where Everybody Belongs

August29th

I’m so proud of my daughter. She ended seventh grade with a near perfect report card, and was rewarded for giving up her free time over the school year to help others.
This week she started her school year by being chosen as a WEB leader, an upper class student assigned to welcome and assist the sixth graders as the enter middle school. She was recommended by more than one teacher, and worked really hard to do a good job. I have a feeling this is going to be a great year for my girl. I love that it is starting on such a positive note. By the way W.E.B. stands for Where Everybody Belongs.
