Congrats!

Our elementary school held an awards assembly on Tuesday.


Our principal welcomed everyone and explained that the names of award recipients would be announced and the audience was to hold its applause until all names were read. It was a great plan in theory, but it didn't exactly work. Does that plan ever work? I'd be curious to know.


These types of assemblies can be taxing for little people, therefore they were allowed to get up and stretch and do jumping jacks a couple of times. This little boy was more than happy to be given the green light to get up and expend some energy.


It was announced that three of our faculty members would be retiring this year. This teacher says he's merely graduating, thus the cap and gown. The kids will really miss him.


D receives an award from his sixth grade teachers.


D was presented the President's Education Award for Academic Excellence. He received a certificate and a letter from President Obama.


Yes, I know my son has on a Colts T-shirt. Had he dressed the way I would have preferred, he'd have been the only kid in khakis and a nice collared shirt. It seems no one dresses up for awards assemblies anymore.


We're really proud of you, big guy!
