On June 1st Kelsi had her 5th grade performance and Promotion. They did awards such as perfect attendance, academics and such. Well we were a liitle surprized when they called Kelsi's name for the American Citizenship Award. We didn't know she was going to be getting any awards. We were very proud of her and she was very excited. After thinking about it for a while I remembered a conversation I had had with her teacher about a month before. In the elementary they have "Awesome Ambassadors" which are awards that the kids can work towards in any area they choose, art, science, math, citizenship, etc. Well Kelsi had worked hard and recieved an "Awesome Ambassador" earlier in the year but was under the impression (as was her teacher) that you could earn more than one. So, as most of you know she wanted to help raise money for the International Children's Surgical Foundation and did it at school and was working on a second "A.A." in citizenship. Well the conversation I had with her teacher went something like this.
Mr. Williams: Kelsi is a little upset today.
Me: Why, what is going on.
Mr. Williams: Well, she found out she wouldn't get the narrator part for the 5th grade program, and also, she can't get two "Awesome Ambassador" awards.
Me: Really?
Mr. Williams: Yeah. I feel really bad about that because I know she worked very hard to raise the money. I really want to do something to recognize her.
Me: That would be great. Thanks.
Well, Mr. Williams came through. He was such a great teacher and really looked for the kids strenghths.
Way to go Kelsi!!!
