I pictured Mom waving at me from somewhere even though I couldn't see her.
Then Mr. Tushman came back to the podium to present the medals for academic excellence, and Jack was right:
Ximena Chin won the gold medal for “overall academic excellence in the fifth grade.”
Charlotte won the silver. Charlotte also won a gold medal for music.
Amos won the medal for overall excellence in sports, which I was really happy about
because, ever since the nature retreat, I considered Amos to be like one of my best friends in school.
But I was really, really thrilled when Mr. Tushman called out Summer's name for the gold medal in creative writing.
I saw Summer put her hand over her mouth when her name was called, and when she walked up onto the stage,
I yelled: “Woo-hoo, Summer!” as loudly as I could, though I don't think she heard me.
After the last name was called, all the kids who'd just won awards stood next to each other onstage,
and Mr. Tushman said to the audience: “Ladies and gentlemen,
I am very honored to present to you this year's Beecher Prep School scholastic achievers. Congratulations to all of you!”
