Students of the Month

Earlier this week Kade brought home a notice saying he was chosen as student of the month for his class. There was an assembly at the school on Friday and we were invited to attend. He was so excited.

Friday came and I packed Matt and Ray up and off we went to the school. The vice principal explained that this year the kids were focusing on Character Pillars. This month's pillar is trustworthiness. He went on about the program and then he started announcing the awards. He started with the 2nd grade classes and announced the first winner. Then came Hailey's class. It was Hailey! We had no idea and my camera wasn't ready (Not that it mattered. I was too far away to get a decent picture anyway). Finally, he got to the kindergarten classes and he announced Kade. Kade ran up to get his award with a huge grin on his face. It was a big day for both of them.

With their awards they each got a blue bracelet (blue is the color for trustworthiness), a ribbon, a gift certificate for a free kids meal to Red Robin, and a free ice cream in the school cafeteria. They were so excited.

Nathan and I decided to take them to Red Robin that night to acknowledge their good behavior. As we were getting ready to order Scott, Coleton and Ashlynn walked in. We had room at our table so we had them sit with us. Hailey and Kade had so much fun eating at a restaurant with their cousins.

(Interestingly, since they received their awards for trustworthiness both have been caught lying to me multiple times.)
