The latest awards

Okay, since my last post Baylee has done it again. She has won two more awards. The entire school was asked to draw their idea of a Victorian Christmas and the best design would be used for the school Christmas card. Baylee drew the cutest Victorian house all decorated up for the holidays and her design was chosen for the school Christmas card. This card will be sent out to other schools in the district as well as families of Arlon Seay Mavericks. So that's that! Now for the next one. This morning the 5th grade class graduated from the D.A.R.E. program. They have been in the program since the beginning of the school year. It lasts for one whole semester. Towards the end of the program the kids were asked to write an essay about what they learned and how it will affect their futures. They chose one boy and one girl out of every 5th grade class and my daughter was one of the winners. They awarded them with metals, water bottles and a pin to wear on their shirts. I truly have the greatest kids a parent could ask for. I'm not only saying this because my kids are smart and always win awards but they are genuinely AWESOME in every way! I sometimes find myself questioning my parenting skills as I'm sure most moms do but I must be doing something right!
