9th Grade

This week is an interesting week for our family. We have 3 daughters graduating and moving on to new schools and promises.  I am a mess of emotions, and I knew I would be.  Life is full right now. 

Savanna had her 9th grade recognition night last week. (She is the 3rd one from the right).  She received Scholar of the Year Award--the highest award offered at the junior high. She is a bright, beautiful, bubbly, blonde!!  She has incredible friends who lift, love and laugh with her.  They are an answer to a Mom's prayer.  I feel like they are my own.

Here she is with one of her favorite teachers. He is her Honors Biology teacher.  She absolutely LOVES science.  Her favorite project this year was dissecting cats--yes--her FAVORITE.  I get a little light-headed just typing the words.:)

Love her!!!

With her principal. 
I have discovered that it takes a village to raise a child. Savanna has been so blessed with dedicated teachers, interested neighbors, caring church leaders, and a very supportive extended family.  She is a light in my life, and I love her for her goodness and determination to succeed.  I am honored to be her Mom.
Love you, Savanna--you will conquer high school without a doubt :)!!
Be Nice to People,
Julie
