I just wanted to share this with my buds here because I am so proud and have been walking on air for the entire morning!!
Background info: DS (14) is a wrestler...10th season, but first year on HS varsity team. He is a freshman. So, he is having an amazing season. He has 18 wins and only 3 losses. We wrestle in one of the hardest areas in the entire country. Several of our competitor schools are ranked in the Nation!! Pennsylvania as a whole is pretty well-known for it's wrestling. Anyway, two weeks ago he was the subject of the main headline on front page of our sports section. So, my husband and I were very proud. Last night, he wrestled a match and the opposing team moved one of their star wrestlers to face my son. Other coaches do this as a strategy to try and beat another good wrestler and raise the overall team points. Well, that strategy didn't work last night!! DS beat the boy 13-0!!!! Sooooo exciting! Then, this moring my phone started going off by 7 am...DS had a picture AND small write up on the front page this time!! So, as if things could not get any better...the school calls...it's DS's World Cultures teacher. He says he wants to congratulate DH & I. I figured it was about the article. Nope!! DS had the highest World Cultures grade in 9th grade this marking period and in fact, the whole semester!! He got a 96 in the marking period and a 95 in he semester!!!! The teacher had so many great tings to say that I actually started crying!! LOL They were good tears...great actually!! I am just so proud of him! So, thanks for letting me share! I will try to post the link to the article / picture in case anyone is interested in peeking!!

They are both the same picture...the first has the blurb with it, but it disappears in a few seconds unless you are a member.
