Just a quick shout out about how fantastic my kids are…
Our elementrary school focuses on 6 pillars in a program called Character Counts. The teachers choose one child from each grade level that they feel exemplify one of these qualities. They have an award ceremony for each pillar every month or so.
My three children at that school were all chosen at different times for one of the grade level awards! Aren’t they awesome?!
Emma was chosen for Citizenship.
Paige was chosen for Respect.
Avery was chosen for Fairness.
They ROCK!
Emma also came in 8th place in the cross country 1 mile fun run for all the 3rd grade girls in a 4 school race! Way to go Emma! I think there were 60 girls competing.
