Abi's school award

A couple of weeks ago we got a letter saying that Abi was going to be awarded a citizenship award in an assembly at school. They celebrate different character traits and she was recieving an award for "friendship". They told us it stands for being kind and someone that everyone wants to be friends with. And the best part, the other kids vote for this so it means her peers think she deserved a reward for friendship and kindess. 

I am so proud of all she does but I think I am the most proud that she is considered kind. 

We weren't supposed to tell her and so we just showed up at the assembly without her knowing anything about it. 

There she is walking up to the front after they called her name. 

I love how she kept looking over to where Maddy was sitting and smiling at her.

It was really nice to be able to go up and hug her and congratulate her afterward. 

That day she also came home with a class award for "most creative". 

Principal Award

A few weeks ago we got a letter from Abi's school saying that she was going to receive the Soaring Eagle award at her school for excellence in her schoolwork. She was pretty excited and so were we!

We had to go in to school early and there the principal would show us the work and she gave Abi a sticker to wear and a pencil. 

I was wondering why there wasn't a certificate but we actually got that a few days later. 

My mom happened to be spending the night the night before so she was able to come with us. 

 

Abi and her principal.
