K outside of his school with his Golden Bear Award. Middle school's over!
Three Years Down, Four to Go
It seems like only two years ago that M was wrapping up his tenure at Slauson Middle School, and now K has finished his eighth grade year in style, going through his school's graduation/promotion ceremony yesterday morning, and attending a dance party with his friends in the evening.
K and two friends played a few pieces as a string trio before the graduation ceremony began.
In the last three years, K played soccer, volleyball, and tennis, joined the Mathcounts team, participated in Math Olympiad, served on the Student Coucil, and got all A's for every quarter. Like his brother, he was one of the "morning announcements" crew, and was well-known for his ability to pronounce everyone's name correctly.
At the ceremony, K was one of four recipients of the Golden Bear award. The award reads: "Exemplifying the very best of the human spirit: kindness, integrity, perseverance, selflessness, and for exhibiting high academic standards."
This summer, K will go to Interlochen with the Pioneer Orchestra, take a few piano lessons, volunteer for Rec & Ed's "Safety Town", and play as much tennis as he can squeeze in.
We're really proud of his work in middle school and look forward to more of the same at Pioneer High School.
Congratulations, K!
K gives Language Arts teacher Mrs. Murphy a hug at the graduation ceremony.
