Graduation - Jordynn

Let's talk about JORDYNN!


It's that time again when the school year is coming to an end.  Field trips are crammed in the last few weeks, speaking presentations, science projects....
This year we get to add one more big event to the list - 8th GRADE GRADUATION (or "Promotion")!

JORDYNN graduates on Wednesday, June 1st.  She has held a 4.0gpa every school year she has ever attended.  I know, I know - elementary school doesn't give letter grades or a cumulative gpa, but she received all the highest marks, so I figure it's the same thing! :)  So anyway, as you can see, I'm already a very proud mama.  Jordynn has also been a part of the 
A-Team (which means she has all A's) and has helped tutor other students, she was in Honors Science, Honors Geometry, and Honors Language Arts, (and at the top of those classes).  Jordynn was chosen by her coaches to be the co-captain of her Varsity basketball team.  Jordynn was also nominated by the entire school as the girl "Most Likely To Succeed". 


Jordynn is my child who sits in Sacrament meeting at church and writes out geometry and alebraic equations, then figures them out.  She talks about the formulas as if it was common sense to everybody.   

Besides avidly watching every NBA play-off game lately, she has also been into drawing.  She recently drew a picture of Derrick Rose (NBA MVP and  Chicago Bulls player).  A friend from school is currently paying her to draw a picture of himself with Derrick Rose. 

As you can see, we are very proud of Jordynn and her accomplishments.  She's a pretty good kid, is extremely smart, and has many great talents as well.  Great job Jordynn! :)  We love you!
