Every year awards are given for different things and we are parents sit and wait to see if our child will be recognized. I was the second teacher up and it was so hard for me to choose who to give awards to because there are so many great kids at PCS. I will say that my wonderful fifth grader did not receive a keyboarding award from his mom. Bless his heart, he just isn't great at that, but I did find out he's pretty good at a lot of other things today.
Mrs. Kelly gave Michael the:
- Spelling Improvement Award
- Bible Award
- Good Conduct Award (he had NO reminders this year as far as homework and discipline go)....yay!
Michael also received the Athletic Award from Mrs. Koontz. This award was a lot about attitude and respect more than physical ability.
Every year a teacher can choose a student to receive the Timothian Award. This award goes to a child with great Christian character and leadership. "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in live, in love, in faith, and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12
This is the award that makes mom and dad so proud and also makes us feel that we've been doing something right. When Michael's name was called I was shocked. I know that he's a great kid, but this award means so much more than that. Only six elementary students received this award this year. Standing next to Michael is his great friend, Kyle. Kyle's name was called first and I was so excited. Michael and Kyle spend so much time together and I always wants to know that he is choosing great friends.
If Michael could have only received one award, this would be the one. A mom cannot ask for anything more than to know that her son is leading a great Christian example. I can't think of anything better!
Below is a picture of Mr. Rumley our school administrator giving out the awards.
My heart is happy =)!!!
