Today, there was a blue sheet I hadn't seen before. It said "Shining Star" on it. I have to admit that the first thing I thought was, "How much is this going to cost?"
But, here's what it said...
Dear Parents:
Your child has been selected as the Shining Star of the month for our class. A Shining Star is chosen in every homeroom each month as a way to recognize students for academic performance. A Shining Star works very hard to complete class assignments and learn new concepts. Your child exhibits all the qualities of a Shining Star.
Whoo! Hoo!
She has to dress up and attend an awards ceremony Friday morning! There's even a reception for parents. Wow!! What a way to start Kindergarten!!
To celebrate, she chose dinner at the Irish Pub down the street, and we invited Aunt Debbi, since Daddy was stuck at work. He'll be able to make the awards ceremony, however, and that's even better. I was careful to tell her that we are proud of her whether the school thinks she's a Shining Star or not, but that it was great she had earned this special honor. She's proud as punch!
