100th Day of School and an Assembly

Last month we got an email from Afton's teacher letting us know that she was going to be recognized during a school assembly for her compassion. (Each month for five months they have an assembly recognizing students who excel in one of five character traits: Perseverance, compassion, integrity, collaboration, and commitment to quality.)

Anyway, that assembly got canceled due to snow.

This month we got an email from Sam's teaching informing us that Sam was going to be recognized during February's assembly for integrity. It's a surprise and the kids don't know until their names are called.

Fortunately for us, they combined the compassion assembly with integrity, so we got to see both kids get an award on the same day. It also happened to be the 100th day of school and the kindergarteners got to dress up like they were 100-years-old.

Here's Afton before school.

Here's Afton at the assembly.

And Sam. (Skip to 43 seconds or so. I accidentally got the girl before him.)

We're so proud of our kids. They are good examples to us.
