"Rising Star for Excellence"

As I stated in a previous post Hunter was to get an award at school. It is called the "Rising Star for Excellence" and we are VERY proud of him. On the award it states that Hunter is a rising star for excellent study habits, cooperation with peers, and a wonderful positive attitude. He was very embarrassed to go up and get the award, but from the pictures (which we wish we could share) he looked kinda excited and happy about it. Rikk said he had to stand up there for about 10 minutes while kids from other grades got their awards. There were only two kindergartners that got the award, and the other one was also named Hunter.

We are so proud of Hunter and the way that he has adapted to his new school. He has such a good time and LOVES to go, even though it is ALL DAY! He has made some really nice friends and has a great teacher. He goes to speech twice a week and his teacher, plus the speech teacher are VERY impressed with how far he has come since the beginning of the school year (they read his first assessment from NP).

We are proud of you Hunter and all the you have accomplished. We always knew you were a "genius" and so did you! Keep up the great work!!!
