Today was my son Neil's moving-up ceremony at school; he's finished fifth grade and will begin middle school next year. My husband Ed and I knew that Neil's grades had been excellent this year (almost straight A's), but we were floored to find out that he received a President's Award for Educational Excellence. (This is the only time you'll ever see me happily writing about our current president.) Of all the children in his entire school, Neil was the only one to receive the award, a certificate signed by You-Know-Who, the U.S. secretary of education, and the school principal.
To understand just how astounding Neil's achievement is, you'll want to read this and this.
I can't begin to say thanks enough to all of our friends and family members and the members of Neil's education team for being there in various ways for us and for Neil. They're incredibly caring, kind, and talented people who make the world a better place.
Three thousand cheers for Neil!
