Emma's Respect Award..1-27-09.

Today at Emma's school, she and a few other students received a character pillar award on Respect. The principal, and vice principal, as well as a lady from the district, were all there to commend the students who were being honored. They spoke of what respect meant, and how respect is earned. They told the kids that this was in some way a double honor, because it showed that theses students not only repected their peers and teachers but they has also earned the respect from their peers and teachers as well. They called each child up to shake their hand, give tghem their award and ribbon, and told them that their 8 x 10 picture would be hanging on the wall for the month of February. Tony, my dad, Emma's dad, Ava, and Maya were all there and so very proud of her!!!!!! Tony is making her a special dinner tonight, two of her favorites-oysters and crab legs to say good job!!!! The part that was my favorite was when the guidance counselor said to the parents that this was our award too, becuase we were the ones that instilled these qualities in our children....:) That was enough for me. I am so proud of you Emma, keep up the good work!!!!
