I remember my first semester of high school, when I had all A's except a B+ in PE. My mom reamed him out at parent/teacher conferences when he said he gave all students a low grade to get them to try harder (whether they were trying or not).
Congrats, Jake! He's obviously put a lot of effort in so far this year. :)
p.s. Are you going to give him something as a reward? The grades are a great thing in and of themselves, but I am totally mercenary and LOVED that I was allowed a new toy or a special treat if I did well.
I'm a single mom raising The Best Kid Ever™. I'm currently temping while looking for a permanent job, as I was laid off from my job last year. Want to hire me? I enjoy reading, and crafty hobbies like sewing, cross-stitch, and beading. I like to watch movies. I watch entirely too much TV. I worship the very ground Joss Whedon walks on. And I want to have Alan Tudyk's redheaded babies.

I think it's entirely okay to brag about something this momentous!
A B+? What a loser. The kid is an idiot. Really, why can't he get all A's?
You should return him and get your money back. This one is flawed.
(Seriously, tell him Congratulations! I only wish my kids were such "idiots").

And not to make this *completely* about me, tell Jake congratulations. Nice to see hard work pay off!

Seriously, this rocks!! Your boy is an obvious genius. (takes after his Mom)

God, I make myself sound like a puppy. :-P
I keep it simple. I pay him in cash. He likes cash.
Rock. On. Jake.
I smell a genetic link in here somewhere...awesome Mom...awesome kid.
Congratulations!
