Brag Alert!...

I don't like to brag.
I really don't.
I don't brag on myself, and I am not very good at bragging about my children. In fact, usually when someone else recognizes one of their accomplishments, I promptly follow it up with a negative comment. That's just me.
But today, I am here to just plain brag.

Our son was recognized yesterday at a luncheon, and he just plain made us proud!
He qualified as the STAR student at his high school.

Here's a bit about the program and it's criteria:
The Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) program honors Georgia's outstanding high school seniors and the teachers who have been most instrumental in their academic development.
To obtain the STAR nomination, high school seniors must have the highest SAT score (from any one administration of the three-part SAT taken through the November test date of the student’s senior year) and be ranked in the top 10 percent or top 10 members of their class, based on grade point average. These students then select an inspiring teacher to share in this recognition.

Here he is with his chosen teacher, his AP English teacher from hie Junior year with whom he talks with (and get books from) still on a regular basis this year.


OK, that;s it. I'm gonna quit now before I find something negative to say!
(BTW, isn't he cute!)((Sorry, guess I'm on a roll!!))
