Nick ---- YOU MAKE US SO PROUD!!!

Today, we had a meeting with Nick's teachers to discuss his transition to the 9th grade (Heritage High School) in the fall. ISN'T THIS EXCITING????

Kind of ironic if you think about it ..... As an 8th Grader ... He has Finally Arrived!! KING OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL .... but, still, he WANTS TO BE IN HIGH SCHOOL ...... Well --- WISH NO MORE .... only now .... as of August 3rd .... he will again return to the BOTTOM OF THE FOODCHAIN as a FRESHMAN at HERITAGE HIGH SCHOOL!!!

But --- don't let me get side-tracked .... back to our parent/teacher meeting. THE TEACHERS COULDN'T SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT OUR NICK!!!!

Among their comments were:

• He is SOOO Polite
• Nick is such a BRIGHT and WELL MANNERED student
• I wish all of my students were as respectful as he is
• Nick is SMART --- He blew my socks off with his verbal report that went along with his Volcano Project
• Nick is an excellent reader - we are reading a novel he has already completed and several times he has read aloud to the other students
• Nick is going to do great in High School
• Nick has a lot of initiative - you can tell he wants to do well
• He is extremely proud of his work, especially the projects he has turned in - He always is excited to find out what his grade will be
• Nick is doing great here and making lots of friends - On his first day, we had arranged for some students to hang out with him during certain periods - but, he didn't even need that - He came right in and met his own friends and has been gaining new friends everyday since!

So --- OVERALL --- Nick's teachers couldn't praise him enough!!!

Way to GOOOOO Nick!!! We are SOOO proud of you !!!
