Keeley's Positive Referral

In October, Keeley was recommended for a Positive Referral award by her teacher, Ms. C. This is a big deal, as not many students get this reward. I believe it is just one boy and one girl from each GRADE each month. :)

In early October, we had parent-teacher conferences, and Ms. C. told me that she had recommended her for the award. A week or so later, I received a call from the Assistant Principal that Keeley had received the award, and Keeley and another boy from her class were in the office picking out a new toy each!

She also mentioned that the awards would be announced at morning assembly on November 4.

Here is her certificate, signed by the Assistant Principal.

This morning was the assembly day. Keeley was SO excited about getting to go up on stage in front of everyone and have them all clapping for her!
Once all the kids were in the auditorium, she seemed worried and upset, so I asked her teacher to check on her. She was nervous because the other little boy in her class wasn't at school yet, and she was obviously relying on him for familiarity, and was NOT pleased at the prospect of making the trek on her own. Fortunately, Ms. C. found him, and Keeley's face lit up!

Once the names were announced, Keeley went up with confidence, a wave, and a smile!
I have video that is too large to post on here, but I took a few photos after the assembly, when the award recipients took a group photo.

Here is Keeley with her fellow award-winning classmate.

And, here is a quick snap of the whole group. You can see that this is a small group in a school of 800+, so it's quite an honor to receive this award!

We are so proud of our beautiful, kind, smart, hard-working Keeley!
