Moving On UP!!!

Today the Sonora Intermediate had their annual awards ceremony and Madalyn did amazing.  We are so blessed to have a sweet, kindhearted, artist, intelligent child like her.  She isn't totally perfect and she is for sure a PRE-TEEN that sometimes I would like to kill, but for the most part she does pretty darn good.

She won the Law Enforcement Memorial poster contest.  Each child from 3rd-5th designed a poster in art class for this contest.  Half of the posters were distributed to the police station and the other half to the sheriff's department, each one picked their Best of Show winner, which included a $10 gift card to Alco.  I haven't seen the poster but she described it to me and it sounds wonderful.  Sheriff Joe Fincher said the station said that she was hands down the winner.  In case you didn't know, art is Madalyn's passion.

She also received an award for Perfect Attendance.  This is the first time she has had perfect attendance usually she gets almost perfect attendance.  She received 10 free pool passes as a reward.

Madalyn loves to read but Madalyn also loves TV.  Sometimes it is real hard for her to make the right decision but usually she does which is why she has excelled so much.  This year she set a personal goal of 105 AR points which is way above the school's goal of 85.  She exceeded her goal and ended up with 111 AR points.  She received an awesome gold medal for her achievement.

Oooo's and Awww's are welcome too.  I made this dress for her to wear today.  I am so proud that it looked so good on her.  She loved it as well.  It doesn't get any better than that:)
