Bryson's Eagle Project: Operation DPC (Dry Pack Canning)

Lion of the Quarter




We received a phone call from one of Bryson's teachers a couple of weeks ago, telling us he had been selected as Lion of the Quarter at his school for the 1st quarter of his 9th grade year.

Lion of the Quarter students are nominated by the teachers as students who truly represent the values of the school. After the nominations are in, the teachers vote to determine the actual recipients. Four times a year, 6 students from each grade are given this award - so a total of 72 students per grade for the entire time they are at the school. It is a great honor.

As an officer of National Junior Honor Society, Bryson also had the opportunity to present the awards for the 8th grade.

Happy Birthday, Niki!


Isn't She Lovely?
(by Stevie Wonder)

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love.
~~~~~
We truly are blessed to have one as lovely - physically and in every other way - as Niki is!

Happy Birthday, Niki!!

Love, Your Family
