Achievement Certificates- what to do with them

[Anonymous]

Do you keep track of your kid's long standing achievements? I have stacks of honor roll, presidents lists papers etc. To frame them would be a little ridiculous, but I feel bad tossing them out. Is there anything creative you've done with these for your high achiever? Scan to a photobook?

Some of them were vaguely useful when my child had to list stuff on college and scholarship applications. Keep them until you have college acceptance in hand and then run them all through the shredder.

I put them in a binder in plastic sleeves.

Take pictures of them and put them in a digital folder on your computer/in the cloud.

I pitch any participation certificates and only keep the ones that have any meaning.

I have one of those "school memories" books with a pocket for each grade. The certificates get shoved in there, along with everything else.
