Readers and Leaders

During an assembly at school last Thursday, Audrey was honored as one of kindergarten's "Readers and Leaders".  Audrey was chosen to receive the "Excellence" award for kindergarten because of the pride she takes in the work she does.  Her teacher said Audrey always gives her best effort on everything she does!  When receiving the award, Audrey had to stand up in front of the entire elementary in the gym and get recognized.  It was apparent to me she felt uncomfortable, but probably not to anyone else.  She did great!

After that part was done, Audrey was also recognized as one of the seven kindergarten students to read over 100 books during the month.  As a reward, the students were allowed to put a pie in our principal's face.  Each time before this that Audrey had qualified for one of these rewards, she was too shy/uncomfortable to do it.  This time, though, she did it!  She walked up in front of the crowd and smashed a pie on our principal's shirt.  It is silly to say, but I got tears in my eyes feeling proud of her for taking a risk!  Way to go, Audrey!  Dad and I are so proud of all you have accomplished in school already!
