Onward and Upward

On Saturday, June 1st, 2013, Jeremy attended his Moving On Ceremony at Ridge Road Middle School.  We are really proud of him.  This year has been full of challenges.  Middle school is not an easy time for almost everyone, but Jeremy came in as the "new" kid and was thrown into a whole new world of attitude, offensive language and posturing.  He survived the year and is excited to move on to high school (YIKES!!! Am I that old?)  Not only did he receive his diploma, but he also got a medal for A/B Honor Roll (one B the whole year!  The rest were A's.  Don't get me started on that one!!)  The best surprise of all was when Mr. Williams announced the award for the top math student for the Seahawks team - JEREMY CANNON!  Oh yeah!  I stood and yelled like the proud mama I am. Afterwards we chatted with friends and teachers.  His science teacher, Ms. Newton, told me that Jeremy scored the highest she has ever had in any of her classes before.  He has a 98.98% in her class.  She said he was a hard worker, very bright and had good things in his future.  Ms. Baker, his language arts teacher, is leaving CMS this year to teach at a charter school.  She will be amazing with her energy and creativity.  Jeremy really enjoyed having her as a teacher this year - Fun and challenging all in one.  After saying goodbye to his friends we all went to Rita's Ice to celebrate.  Jeremy said that the day was great and winning the awards felt amazing, but the highlight of the day was the peanut butter fudge icee!!  That's my boy!
