NYR 6-22-11 - awards day


This afternoon Jimmy and I attended the awards ceremony for "Key Stage 2" at CGB. Key Stage 2 for you non-Anglophiles is years 3, 4, 5, and 6, which in the US, translates to 2nd through 5th grades. (As you might can guess, Mac's not the only one who's been educated this year!)

The school is really good about sending an email to let you know that your child is getting an award so you can be sure to be present. So we knew Mac was getting something, and Mac really hoped it for something "cool" like PE.

He was a little disappointed to get the Colombian Culture Student award because that's not nearly as "cool" as PE. But as a mother, I couldn't be more proud. We know he can run fast and throw a baseball, but to get an award for studying Colombian culture? You have to work a little harder at that because it's not natural.

For my Colombian Culture award-winner, I am truly thankful!
