5th Grade Graduation

After too many years to count, Jayden's fifth grade graduation marked the end of our elementary school career. Jayden was honored for her completion of fifth grade (obviously!), for serving on the school's safety patrol, for serving on the student council (SCAPE), for participating in the Girls Running Club, and for earning the Presidential Youth Fitness award.

Jayden was also one of only three graduates (all of which are friends) who would earn the Presidential Outstanding Academic Excellence Award for earning all A's and B's over the past three school years.

We are all very proud of the fine young lady that Jayden has become during her elementary school years, and we cannot wait to see what kind of amazing she achieves as she grows into a young adult. We love you Jay!
