What a great night! Tonight Adam, my little sweet guy with the best hugs in the world, was awarded the Superintendent’s Star Award at the MISD school board meeting. He was the ONLY child from Charlotte Anderson Elementary school to be awarded this. Nine other children from nine other elementary schools also received the award.
I’d never heard of this award before even though they’ve been doing it for about 5 years. The award “recognizes students for outstanding character, citizenship, fairness, honesty, kindness, respect, responsibility, and trustworthiness.” The kids are nominated by their teachers and approved by the principal.
I was honestly bursting with pride tonight. It’s so great as a parent to have your child recognized for something that’s inherent in their personality. I can’t even put it into words…
Doug came for the awards, of course, but John had to work, and we sincerely missed him. I would have loved to share this with him as part of our family.
Here are a few pictures. Doug took some as well, so I’ll add them as soon as I receive them…
This is Adam before the awards…
And the back of Adam getting the award…
And the kids with their trophies…
Hello Dawn
Ahh! What a lovely, positive life you lead. I too have breast cancer, and most days I have a glass half-full view of the world, but yesterday, it was glass half-empty, and your site really cheered me up. I’m across the pond from you, but you are very welcome to visit.
All good wishes,
