School Happenings

Last Friday Joey was named "Student of the Month" for his class.

There was a morning Flag Salute where all the students of the month were announced and called to the front. The lady in the sunglasses is their new principal, Mrs. Geldard.

After the Flag Salute I went back to Joey's class where his teacher (his long-term substitute, Mrs. Apple) presented him with his certificate and said some very sweet things about him in front of the class.

For posterity's sake, I wanted to post what Mrs. Apple wrote on his certificate:

Joey is a motivated student who is helpful, outgoing and focused on doing his work well. He volunteers for most tasks and any teacher is lucky to have him in their class! Good job, Joey!

After he got his certificate, the students of the month had a little popsicle party on the picnic tables. They could invite a friend, and Joey wanted Hannah to join him so I got her out of class. Too bad I didn't get a picture!

The reason Joey is wearing his Phillies uniform is because Friday was also "Twin Day." Joey's friend Adler, who was on his baseball team, called Joey earlier in the week and arranged to be twins.

Hannah's teacher sent out an email that said she would be wearing her Discovery shirt if anyone wanted to be twins with her. Hannah was thrilled to get to match Mrs. Prescott!
