S.O.M.

It was 100 degrees at 8 a.m. that day and Kayla couldn't stand the heat!

As a mom there is nothing better than to get a call from your child's teacher telling you how much they enjoy having your daughter in their class.  First was Neeley's teacher.  She said that Neeley is very responsible and follows directions and is a joy to have in her class.  Next it was Kayla's teacher who called to say that Kayla was the best example of someone who displays courtesy in the class and was chosen as student of the month!

B.F. has a really cool tradition of a flag ceremony out back every morning.  The classes all line up.  Then they have a student lead them in the pledge and give a thought having to do with the theme of the month, followed by a skit or something else to illustrate it and a patriotic song.  On this particular morning Neeley had the opportunity to give the thought in front of the entire student body.  And since it was a surprise to Kayla that she was getting the award of student of the month it was a perfect excuse for Mom and Dad to come to flag ceremony without her knowing.  She didn't even look nervous and did a fabulous job.

It was fun to see the look of surprise and bewilderment on Kayla's face when they called her name.  I'm so thankful for good girls who conduct themselves well.  It makes the sting of getting a note home from another teacher for a daughter (who shall remain anonymous) who just can't control her humming in class a little easier to handle.  Lets just say two out of three ain't bad!
