Citizenship Award


Melissa's elementary school is really good about recognizing kids for doing great things. Every couple of months they have assemblies to hand out awards for specific character traits that they see in the kids. Melissa got an award for good citizenship because of her great attitude in class and for being such a forgiving friend to some of the kids in class. YAY!

The school also has a "running club" that allows the kids to run laps during recess twice a week. They get a pop-cicle stick for every lap that they run and then they are tallied up. At the assemblies they also recognize the kids who have run based on 5 mile increments. Melissa was given an award for running 10 miles already this year. Not too bad for 10 minutes of running twice a week for 6 weeks.
