We were invited to attend a special assembly this week at Thomas' school to honor the monthly award winners. Thomas was one of them. Brian and I had no idea what award Thomas had earned... but we were certainly excited & proud of him regardless.
When we arrived, all the K-6 classes were already seated. Thomas, along with all of the other monthly winners, was on stage waiting for the assembly to begin.
It wasn't hard to spot Thomas with his bright yellow sweatshirt on. Surprisingly though, he saw us in a sea of parents right away and started waving and blowing kisses.

Yeap... that's our boy being awarded for showing good citizenship.
Honesty, Compassion, Respect, and Courage are all part of being a good citizen. Although those words might not entirely sink in with a kindergartner, learning how important it is tell the truth, caring & respecting others, being responsible for what you do and say and being brave enough to do the right thing and to ask for help when you need it are all concepts we hope our children learn at a young age. This Mommy & Daddy are extremely proud.
We even brought out the Red Plate to celebrate at dinner.
Way to go Thomas!
