Hero Award!

Today Carmen received the "Centennial Stars Hero" award at a school assembly. They give awards to Scholars, Achievers & Heros every quarter and they make a big deal out of it--it is really neat. They get a medal with a star on it and a certificate. We were notified about a week beforehand but the students are not aware that they are receiving an award until their name is called (or they see their parents sitting in the back of the gym)--so it's a surprise to them. The principal presents the award and says a small blurb about why that student deserves it. Triston received the Scholar award last year in 2nd grade as he did exceptionally well on his MAPS testing towards the end of the year. And now, Carmen received it today because according to her teacher she is always willing to help out the other kids at her table, is respectful, responsible, and a great role model. Exactly what every parent wants to hear!!! We're 2 for 2 so we're boasting with pride!!
