A happy mom asks a question: "I have a 'problem' that is all good. My son is set to graduate as Valedictorian of his high school class this month and I am unsure of what the etiquette is for announcing this honor. Is there something extra that is supposed to be included with the grad. announcement? Do we simply tell people who would be interested? Is there a standard for this?"

Denise’s thoughts: An honor that is earned through such hard work should be given it's due attention. I would put a note with each announcement and party invitation. Perhaps something that starts out: "(names), the parents of (teen name) would like to share with you how proud we are of our(son/daughter) for obtaining the distinguished honor of Valedictorian of his high school class."

From our parenting community: How would you announce it? How much glee can a parent show without going overboard? Share your thoughts in the comments area or on the forum.
