Awards Day!

The boys have been in school for a full marking period so far and today was their awards assembly (or as it is now referred to as a recognition ceremony because everybody wins). I was lucky enough to get to go to their ceremonies (even if it screwed with naptime!) and watch them get their certificates.

First up was Jake...He got every award possible. He received a Perfect Attendance award, the Principal's Award (for making more A's than B's and no C's. Only 2 kids in his class got it this marking period.), a Way To Go Award that was voted on by classmates for being a courteous friend that is always helpful and kind to everyone in the class, and lastly the PBIS award (given to only 2 kids per class each marking period that exhibit the core values of respect, responsibility, and safety all the time. They get a t-shirt in addition to their certificate.).

Zach's was a little later in the day...He got every award possible too! Commendable Attendance (I picked him up a teensy bit early one day so therefore he didn't get perfect attendance), Principal's Award, an award voted on by his classmates for always being bright, likeable, and comical, and also the PBIS award. His teacher had the nicest things to say about him when giving him that award, I got teary eyed! (both boys have gotten the PBIS award each year they've been at the school, this is the 3rd for both!)

It was a great day for both boys! We celebrated their first marking period success by going to Friendly's for dinner and they're getting to stay up late tonight watching a movie. :) I'm a super proud mama. They have been working hard and it's paying off!!
