I am so proud of you, almond joy! And I'm thrilled that your high school has an evening program and reception to honor the first year honor roll students, including giving out letters. I know you want to wait to get a jacket until you have an athletic letter (good luck and keep on swimming), but I think your school is great to recognize that so many of you are doing homework, taking honors classes and learning to balance very well.
Clapping and cheering for Almond Joy!

Yea for schools that recognize academnic achievement -- especially fairly early in the process. I didn't get my band letter until my junior year -- and then it was pretty much automatic. They didn't have acadmic letters...
