Connor came home one afternoon and told me he got a certificate. I being the lovely mother that I am said great job honey and proceeded to go about my buisiness. Connor knowing me all too well followed me around and kept talking. I still wasn't catching on. Then he said, "And they'll be recognizing me at school for it...." I suddenly came around and realized it wasn't just a piece of paper saying, "Great job on you attendance" or some such thing. Connor had been chosen one of four students from his school to be recognized by a local club called the Optomist Club. They choose a seventh grade boy and girl and an eighth grade boy and girl from each of the middle schools to honor for their kindness and good attitude at school. The teachers vote for the student they think is deserving of recognition. The club has a breakfast for the kids and they give them acertificate and a gift card for being the great kids that they are.
We're so proud of you Connor. Keep up the good work!
