I asked Gracie's principal for what was read at the ceremony honoring Grace's hard work and he just got back to me. I provided the write up and what he wrote back to me in an email:
Here is the excerpt that was read:
Grace may have to work harder than most students yet she does not let her dyslexia affect her ability to be successful at school. She demonstrates her tenacity by attending tutoring sessions after school to support her learning in the areas that she struggles with. In addition to her after school tutoring, Grace has a math tutor who comes to school 2 times a week to help Grace for 45 minutes.
With all the extra tutoring and time required to complete school work, it is important to note that Grace never uses her disability as an excuse nor does she complain about the extra work.
She is described by her teacher as a poised, mature and very responsible person. She is described by her friends as perceptive, caring and confident friend. Her family is very proud of who she is and her achievements.
Grace has improved dramatically in the last two years. Her writing and work in all subject areas has grown from B’s and C’s to almost all A’s in all subjects. That progress is due to Grace’s perseverance and drive. It is our pleasure to recognize her with the Every Student Succeeding Award!
She's a great role model. I think your mother-in-law said it best when she said she teaches us. So glad you enjoyed the event.
