Induction

Well Merrick was inducted into Students of Promise (SoP) on December 13th. Turns out, they only chose 3 students from Clare. They had a very nice ceremony where the President of the college, one of the SoP board members, and the co-ordinator Jessie Gordon spoke.

They were given a card to write on that Ms. Gordon read as they approached the sign in book. Merrick had to write who he came with/was supporting him and what he wanted to be when he grew up. Tim, Ethan, Sophie & I were all there for Merrick. Grandma Betty, Grandpa & Grandma Mann, and Grandpa & Grandma Fiero were also there. Merrick mentioned that he wanted to be a police officer.
