Academic Pep Rally

At Tim's school, Claybon Elementary, they have an Academic Pep Rally every six weeks to honor those kids who have done well on their report cards. Everyone gathers in the gym and they sit by grade. Any kid who makes the A/B honor roll gets to wear an A/B tattoo, and every kid with straight A's gets a tattoo and gets to run a lap around the gym while everyone cheers for them! It is super exciting! Then they hand out special P.E. and Music awards, perfect attendance awards, accelerated reader awards and a "student of the six weeks" is chosen. Then each grade performs a cheer which is then judged by selected parents. An award is given for that also.

Tim was "Student of the 6 weeks" last six weeks and was SUPER thrilled! I have never video taped this event before and thought he would like to see it on my blog, so this video is for you Tim - I am so proud of your Academic Excellence!!

Tim is the last to run CRAZY into the gym. (it was also Jersey Day at school this day - no uniform required!!)




That is Tim in the Dallas Stars Jersey - it was actually NFL Jersey Day - a nod to the Super Bowl - but Tim says football is stupid, so he wore a Hockey Jersey! My little non-conformist!
His class joined with 4th grade for their cheer - They WON!!

P.S. He didn't want the cheer video taped, so after I taped it, he told me "That's gonna cost you 20 bucks!"
A non-conformist and a bit of an extortionist too! Boy, I know how to raise 'em, huh?!
