An Outstanding Award!

Well, I couldn't be more proud of Kaleigh right now! She was recognized recently for the end of the year academic awards for Academic Acheivement in Language Arts. She is very gifted in that area and I am not surprised that she received the award. When the teacher called me at home to make sure I would be at the awards Chapel, she wouldn't tell me what category she won, only that I needed to be there. Kaleigh actually got perfect attendance this year due to the fact that none of us got sick at the usual time because we were all being extra careful in November (our usual time to get sick) because of the Swine flu panic. So at first I thought it was that, but the teacher let me know she wouldn't have called me for attendance. So now I am sitting there listening to the kids getting math awards (knew it wouldn't be that one), and spelling (thought maybe...), then music could have been, but then when they announced Language Arts, I was pretty sure! Now they not only gave awards for Academic Acheivement (grades), they also gave out awards for Outstanding Effort and Attitude. I would have been proud of her either way, but if you really think about it, Academic Acheivement looks better on paper, because, let's face it they worked hard to get the good grades! So, she is happy to have received an award in an area that she is very interested in! She loves writing and telling stories!

So, Yay, Kaleigh!
