That darn Mikayla!
Last week I got an invitation to go and watch Mikayla graduate from "Nova". Nova is a state wide program that the sixth graders participate in. There is an officer that comes and teaches them about making great choices as they approach their adolesence. It lasts about 17 weeks and is so great for the kids. Anyways, the kids had to write a constitution for themselves. He picked two essays for the graduation. One from each of the sixth grade classes. They were also awarded with a special award. Mikayla was chosen to present her constitution along with one of her best friends Nathan. She got to read it to everyone. I had NO idea that she was winning this award. I was so surprised when I got there, and then she also won another award as well. It was the "Nova Pack" award. This is where they of their own free will turn off the TV, computers, Video games for one week. They must write about what they did to fill in their time. There were 7 students that earned this award in the sixth grade. That is will power! I didnt have the internet for 10 days and thought I was dying. We are proud of you Mikayla! You are making great choices and becoming an amazing young lady!
