Brag Day---Academic Awards Night at Quincy High

Aaaaaaaw! I am a proud Mama! 

Tonight we attended Quincy's academic awards night. The twist, they don't tell you which award you're getting. I learned now how it ranges from vocational ( carpentry, culinary etc) to Math and Science as well as Principal's award and Pride ( school spirit). 

My Pherry got GOLD Presidential Academic Award. Gold! That means 4.0 GPA PLUS at least 3 Advance scores in MCAS! Side story, when I told him how proud I am, he told me he got perfect score for Math and Science in MCAS. Not just Advance score, it was perfect Ma! Hahahaahah. Oo nga naman. 

That's all he got though. Some kids got multiple awards like excellence in Math, visual arts etc. I was kind of expecting I.T. AND History but they didn't give out those or maybe none were qualified. Iwas particularly  happy when Leadership and School Spirit awards were given out. These are students who excel academically AND are socially responsible and contributes much to the community. 

Most of Pherry's friends were awarded too but I was particularly proud of Stanley and Matthew. 

Stanley

After school, Stanley runs off to Boston to work for his father every single day, yet he excels academically. Hardwork pays off, right Stanley?

Matthew

Matthew, Matthew Matthew! He has been friends with Pherry since elementary years. He was one of only 4Pride  Awards recipient! Did I tell you he is Mr. QHS? Yup, Brains and Brawn!

Here's a few pictures! 

I am beaming with pride with these three kids. 

Us--- proud parents. 

I will never tire of telling everyone how extremely proud I am of my kids but tonight, let me tell you how I am extremely happy that Pherry is setting the bar so high and being such a great model for his siblings. 

Soar high Pherry, I know you'd do really well in life. I'm in tears right now so I'll write more senti message next post. 😔

Oh, here's that Barack Obama signature. The first one we have in our household was also of Pherry's silver one but now it is gold!  

Brag Day-- graduation edition

It's been too long! I know! Sorry. Believe me though, it's not for the lack of brag materials hahahahha. I've just been too lazy to write. Once I get home after a long commute, all I want to do is watch my crime drama shows. Hahahah. 

Anyways, I haven't updated you with so many things but I promise I will soon. 

It's not a secret that Chris and I are proud of our kids but it's so emotional to finally see Pherry finish high school with no issues. We were never called to the school, all I hear from his teachers is how

he is such a wonderful young man. Anyway, he called me telling me that we need to go the awards night. I said I already am. He said , "ma, this is aside from the scholarship awards. " 

Mauubos vacation time KO nito eh! 

Scholarship Awarding

Awards Night

Ma, the blue tassels everyone gets, the yellow one is only for National Honor Society as well as the special bib. The red tassel is for Skills USA. How about History Bowl and Robotics? They don't give out special ones for those.  Ma, just be glad my award is not for perfect attendance or best dressed. Lokong bata. But best dressed is good?! He looks at me dagger sharp then said, you only you would say that Ma.

 

PS: anong masama sa best dressed?

PPS: most punctual, pwede?

PPPS: Most in School Donation, meron?

Last na: Extra Curricular activity awardee?
