The African American Awards of Excellence

James had a very exciting day! He received an award for all of his hard work at school and being above grade level in his subjects. This was for all African American students in Montgomery County. It was held at the Comcast Center at the University of Maryland (where the Terps play!). It was a huge deal. James sat with the other kids from McAuliffe down on the floor. The stands were packed with family and friends. I'm so very proud of James' accomplishments.

James is in the blue plaid shirt.

James' cheering section!
