She noticed us once she was on stage with the principal, and gave us a smile and a wave
standing on stage as the last of the students were called up
Mallory and her teacher, Miss Fox
Mallory was recognized as a student of the month this morning at a very nice assembly at Mountain View Elementary. Her daddy and I both took time to be with her as she was honored by her principal Mrs. Merkel and her teacher Miss Fox. Of course as a teacher/administrator, I was watching to see how the whole thing was conducted, and I was VERY impressed. The kids were well-behaved and it was so cool to see the student council (6th graders) lead the assembly along with the principal. They had behavior monitors that watched the classes and at the end they awarded the best-behaved class with a tray of cookies. There were all kinds of other awards, too, for attendance, Happy Meal tickets for lunch with the principal, spirit awards, and so on. We do lots at our school too, but it was interesting to see how another school does things. I may have to give my boss Robert an idea or two!

But this is Mallory's day, so I really should be writing about her! We are so proud of the sweet young lady she is becoming. She is doing beautifully in school, proficient both academically and behaviorally! -and it is so fun to coach her softball team and watch her play, especially when she goes up to bat! We can't wait to celebrate her eighth birthday next month and her baptism! Mal, we love you!!!
