Noelle was all smiles at her 2nd grade awards!  It was so cool seeing her get so excited about her accomplishments but equally as excited about her goals for next year.  I love Noelle, and her super great attitude! 

 

Her top 3 favorite awards this year were the Computer Achievement Award, the Artistic Excellence Award, and the Reading Achievement trophy for reaching all of her Accelerated Reader goals each six weeks this year!

 

It’s so great to finish the year on such a high note!  Noelle has worked so very hard this year, and it was so great seeing her hard work be rewarded.  We always tell the girls, we are proud of them, no matter what, as long as they try their very best, in work and life.  Noelle is an honest, hard worker, and we are so proud of her!

I read this quote below a statue on the way to Rose’s dance recital last weekend (random, I know), and it seems fitting to share.  The pairing is absolutely perfect:

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
