Sierra - Terrific Kid Award

We received a letter last week from Sierra's school that she was chosen by her teacher to be Terrific Kid for the month of May. Today was the award ceremony. Carlos couldn't attend because he, Ken and Jordan flew out early this morning to Missouri. Here she is with the schools vice principal getting her award! She is reading a note from Sierra's teacher which said:
"Sierra is truly a terrific kid! She is enthusiastic about learning new things. Sierra is respectful to her teacher and to the other students. She is very thoughtful and friendly with everyone around her. Sierra is truly a terrific kid. It is a joy to have her in my class!"

AFter the ceremony they had refreshments for everyone.
I am a proud parent of a Terrific Kid :-)

CONGRATULATIONS SIERRA MICHELLE!
We are so proud of you!

Oh that is wonderful, Emily.She must have been so excitied.

I wish there was some way to acknowldge our kids publically like that as homeschoolers, but the opportunities just aren't there.
