School's out for summer!

We made it through another school year! Both kids had great grades – Amy had straight A's, including A+ in both English and US History 1865-Present (she missed literally ONE question in the whole year!). Reed had all A's except one B+ in Algebra II/Trigonometry.

Reed didn't participate in a lot of extracurriculars, but he kept his head down and earned great grades, and kept up with his longtime friends. He still won't even get his hair trimmed, which is fascinating. (I like his long hair but still think it would benefit from a trim, but he won't budge on that and it's not worth fighting over – hey, we're saving money on hair cuts!)

Amy had such a great time in the drama production and trudged through a tough year of Spanish with a teacher she just didn't match up well with, but still ended up with an A on the year in that class (which goes toward her high school credits). She had her school-day friends but not a lot of interaction outside of school, which I think is something she wants to work on in the future (over-the-phone interactions in middle school are tough!).

Really proud of our kids!
