My son, Nathan graduated from Madison Elementary School in Redondo Beach today. My husband and I went to his 5th Grade Promotion this morning. It was the most memorable event in my life. They served fantastic continental breakfast before the ceremony, I was too overjoyed to think about photographing any food (Sorry no food pics this time!!! :).I can't believe it, my baby is going to middle school this fall!
He received the President's award for Educational Excellence at the awards ceremony. This award is given to exiting elementary school students who have earned an A- average on report cards in grades four and five and a score of advanced on the reading and mathematics section of the CST (California Standards Test). It represents the highest academic honor a student can receive. He received a certificate signed by the President Barack Obama and a pin.
He also received Good Attendance Award and Physical Fitness Award from the school. We just couldn't stop smiling! Please don't blame us to be too proud!!!

This Art Contest encouraged students to create and illustrate water-smart conservation messages. Over 400 students entered artwork into 3 categories: elementary, middle, and high school.
