Bragging time!! My super smart daughter had an awards assembly last Friday. Joey, Grandma Toni, Grandpa Jon & Myself all went down to Westview to cheer on our kiddo.

She won a trophy for 35 weeks as Super Citizen, (That is the highest you can get, and means she achieved the status in her class all year long), a blue ribbon for 5 week perfect attendance (if she hadn't gotten sick for 3 days in the beginning of the school year, she would have had perfect all year long), and a Certificate for Academic Excellence (only one child in each class received this award).

Of course we were proud of all of the work she has done during the school year, but for her to walk away with the academic award made me a extremely proud Momma. According to her teacher Katie was chosen because she received 100% on all her spelling tests (thanks to Jer making her write her words on a daily basis), is reading at an end of 2nd grade level (remember she is only in first grade), and has gotten 90% or higher on all her math quizzes.

Of course for all this extra hard work you need a reward, and what did she get? A new lightsaber. Jerry has corrupted my little daughter. Everyone give Katie three cheers, because she deserves it!!
