Burroughs Scholars 2009

On Friday we had an assembly at school to recognize the students who had achieved academic success first semester. I wasn't particularly interested in going as it was putting my classes off schedule but after I got there and started seeing my students cross the stage I started to understand the reason for the assembly.

The first group to cross the stage was the 4.0 group, 18 of my students achieved this status. Then came the 3.5 and above group there were 29 o my students here. 47 of my students (out of 165) were recognized for academic excellence. This is not an easy task in a Magnet program.

Students received picture frames, certificates, In 'N' Out gift cards and lanyards as rewards for their hard work and achievement.

Needless to say it was a proud day for JB!

Sounds like a proud day for Miss Knapp too. These kids are doing great things because YOU CARE and are making a difference for them.
