I believe Alyssa has adjusted to Junior High quite nicely, at least to the academic portion of it. After bringing home a 4.0 grade average her first quarter she decided she wanted to apply for the National Junior Honor Society (I didn't even know they had a junior division). Anyway, she got the application, filled it our herself and got all the adult and teacher recommendations.
Well it was no surprise to me that she got in. They had a special Induction Ceremony and the parents were invited. There we speeches about the purpose of the society, the expectations and privileges. She has to maintain a 3.96 GPA to remain in the NJHS. They do service projects and meet together once a month. Hopefully this will be a good experience for her and at the very least something great to put on her future college applications.
Alyssa's friend Amanda also got accepted which is great since they are BFF's. :)
