Rylee didn't have a graduation, but she did have an awards ceremony. She ended up taking home 8 awards! One for each subject: integrity for math, excellence for biology, she and her group won for their history fair project (a website about gun violence, the MSD shooting, and how students are fighting for better laws), and she won the ABC poem category for the literacy fair (with a poem about Grandma Sandy and her love for loons), plus excellence in Color Guard.
She also got a medal for straight As in the 4th quarter, a pin for her presidential excellence award (3.5 GPA or higher), and a plaque for the Principals Award (which they gave to 10 or so students who had straight As all through middle school).
For the Principal's Award, they read a little bio about each student from some questions they had to answer about themselves: "Rylee wants to attend Florida State University (Go Gators!) to become a teacher or marine biologist. She is a member of National Junior Honor, Color Guard, the Sawgrass Springs Golf team, and the crochet club. She also plays the ukulele and guitar. Rylee's favorite quote is: 5 seconds of fear or a lifetime of regret."
We got a kick out of her quote because it's from Coby Cotton of Dude Perfect. She does life by this quote too - she is so brave and adventurous. She clearly gets this from Jon and not me!
