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.
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! 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 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!
