middle school awards night
We were all pretty excited when we got the letters home from school saying that both Jack & Patrick were going to be receiving some kind of award on Tuesday night. They don’t tell you what award you’ll be receiving and when you get there, the program is just an outline of all the awards for the night, so you are in suspense until they call your name.
Some friends receiving their Citizenship awards: Maddie, Tess, JP, Kayla, Julie & Matthew
Todd receiving a music award, Ryan receiving an A for Effort award. 
Hannah, the daughter I’ll never have, receiving one of her two Language Arts awards (she and the boys received the same reading award! See, told you we were almost related!)
Liam receiving one of his two awards for band. He’s a really talented slide trombone player. 
Zach receiving one of his three awards (2 for languages, one for chess).
Jack & Patrick receiving their ‘voracious readers’ awards. It had already, but those Kindles just paid for themselves. Again. They got medals and also a $10 gift card each to Barnes and Nobel. 
And receiving their departmental academic awards for Social Studies. They were so happy (so were we)! And not surprised that it was Social Studies! 
It was a great night with two awards each (pretty funny that they both got both awards, but SO thankful it worked out that way or living here could’ve been very, very ugly. Does anyone remember Jack singing at the Islanders and being in the spelling bee and Patrick not? Yeah, not my favorite time of having twins.) And we topped it off with a trip to Carvel (where else?)
Very proud of you, boys!! Keep up the good work for 7th grade!
