Major Award

The Monday before school got out I got a call from Karsyn's Principal, Mr. C.  He informed me that she would be receiving a pretty special award at the Honor Assembly the end of the week...he figured we would want to be there.  He also said that she knew nothing of the award and asked that we keep it quiet.  I'm pretty sure Kars knew that she was getting recognized for Honor Roll, so she wasn't overly surprised to see us there at the school.  The program looked like this...

 When all was said and done, she was recognized in seven different categories.  Among them, were awards for Gold Honor Roll and President's Education Award.  The final award was the Roger Bengston Citizenship Award.  This award is awarded to one girl and one boy who exhibit Outstanding Performance in Citizenship.  The recipients are selected based on nominations from Principal and staff members. It is the most prestigious awards they give out and although Kars takes it all in stride, we could not have been more proud. For a girl who doesn't like to be the center of attention for an audience, being up in front as much as she was, may have been a little painful for her ;/

We know what a fantastic kid she is, but it is so nice to know that others see that as well.  Yes...being recognized for academics or sports is awesome, but having your child noticed for being an all around good person who demonstrates exemplary citizenship in the way they interact with others is absolutely amazing!! Isn't that what all parents want....to raise kids who do good things and are good to those around them?

So so proud of our girlie:)
