Penny's 8th Grade Promotion!

Good bye Middle School! and Hello High School! Congrats Penny!!! Our Penny is off to "big kid school!" lol Can't believe how fast her middles school years have flown by! Why does time have to go so fast! Mama is not ready for this one to grow up but man is Penny ready! She will do  amazing things I'm sure of it! We are so proud of our Penny girl! We love who she is and who she is  becoming! Thank you to Somerset Sky Pointe! It's been an incredible school for her since kindergarten! Sad to see her close this chapter and move on  else where for High School but she ready to spread her wings and fly! Penny is definitely leaving a mark here at Sky Pointe for sure! :) Thank you to all the teachers who have made an outstanding and incredible impact on Penny! You are the ones that have built that foundation for her! Congrats Penny! You did it!! 
Penny made the program twice!! She was asked by the Assistant Principle of Middle School Mrs. Pitt to give the opening welcome speech along side her good friend Brenner! Penny is the Vice President of her WEB class and Brenner is the President so it was fitting for them to welcome everyone out to their 8th grade Promotion Ceremony! She did amazing! Her confidence to be in front of the  crowd makes my so happy and proud! She never gets nervous! Just gets up and shines! Can't wait to see what High School brings for her! She recently got accepted to be a member of the student council! Wahoo! She is beyond excited to represent her fellow freshman! Thanks to WEB and Mrs. Peets for all the training these last 2 years in leadership,  sign making, activity planning and decorating! lol She is definitely going to excel in Student Council! 
Penny getting her Awards! She received her 8th grade graduation Award and was surprised to find out she was selected by her Math teacher Mr.  Hollod to receive the Math Excellence Award! She was the only one selected from the entire 8th grade for this Math Award!  Wahoo! We had no idea she was so awesome at math! lol She's an amazing hard working student! She's had an incredible year! Straight A's in all classes!  She has loved all her teachers this year too! When announcing her for the Math Excellence Award they mentioned she was the top student in Math for all of 8th grade! Wow! Yay! We are beyond proud of her! She was just as surprised as we were when they announced her name! Thank you Mr. Hollod for seeing the goodness of our Penny! You made her night! 
Then they announced all the students that had been going to Somerset Sky Pointe since Kindergarten! Penny was one of them! Talk about eyes filling up with tears! They lined them up for a big group pic! Wow! Super cool! We have had an amazing school experience here at Somerset! It's been the perfect fit for Penny all these years! Sad to see her move on but she's definitely ready to spread her wings and fly! It's bitter sweet for sure! 
After her graduation ceremony we took lots of pics! They are all breaking up and moving on to  different high schools! A few staying at Somerset! A few going to Shadow Ridge! A few going over to Arbor View! A couple going to Centennial! and 1 going to Palo Verde! Wow! She has made lasting friendship and I hope they all stay in touch as they move onto High School! So crazy!
Love these teens! I'm definitely going to  miss this group  around the school when I'm working! It's been so fun for me to get to  know each them so much by working at the school and having lunch with most of them everyday! Wow! Next year is changing for me with Penny gone! Tears are dropping out my eyes right now as I type! lol
After the ceremony daddy and I surprised her with her 8th grade graduation gift! Tickets to Zach Bryan! Say what! She was beyond excited for this! She has been dying to see him in concert and now she gets to go! Yay!! After Party Fun! I took her to hang with some of her friends at In and Out then when she discovered her favorite boy wasn't there and he was over at Canes I took her there after In and Out to hang with him and those friends! lol The things I do for this one! lol Anything to keep this one smiling! She is the best and loves to have fun! She definitely gets that from her mama! We never want the fun to end! lol My goal in life is to make sure Penny is living her best life! So proud of her 8th grade year! You did it!! Still can't believe she's off to High School! Hold on tight these high school years are going to fly by!!! Let's go Arbor Aggies!
