The Westra siblings excelled in school, so of course there were certificates and awards sent home throughout the years. Some of them got saved ... and then scanned, and now preserved and posted on the blog and into Dropbox.
1974 ... Chris got an award for reading "at least 12 books" during the summer vacation. I wish we had a recorded record of the books he read (as we do in Shane's Booklist, Age 11). Mrs. Bullock was his teacher, which would have put him in Third Grade. Mrs. Bullock was remembered for reading aloud to the class, favorites such as "Baby Island" and "Sonny Elephant" were introduced in 3rd grade.
Wendy's box had a "Vacation Reader's Diploma" for 1974 and 1975.
That would have been 1st and 2nd grade for her.
For Scott, 1975 started 6th grade, his final year at elementary school. In his box, there were three certificates saved from that year. "Good Citizen" of the month (no date on the award though, so we don't know which month!) He got an award for serving on the "Safety Patrol" and another for special services in the office. What a helpful guy!
... another reading award for Chris, in 1977 (5th grade)
Historical Certificates from the Seventies ... Scanned and Saved forever!
