The school had the 8th grade Moving Up Ceremony at the end of May. (They do it a while before the end of school, I guess because the last couple of weeks are exams for the eighth graders.) The boys both won awards: Matthew won Excellence in Health and Leadership, and James won Excellence in Social Studies, Outstanding Effort and Attitude, and Academic Excellence. We are very proud of them! (Matthew was also happy to be nominated for two peer awards -- Most Likely to Participate in Class and Most Likely to be President. He didn't win, but he said the people who did deserved them!)
They also had the eighth grade party. Matthew said the most fun part was the foam room (a huge bubble machine that filled the room with foam). He said the only downside was that it was hard to see, so it was easy to trip over people! (And he ended up getting soap in his throat, but said it was worth it.)
