Terrific Kid

Let me just say that I already believe that I have Terrific Kids! (Don't we all, Moms?) But it is pretty darn cool when their teacher chooses them as the Terrific Kid. Here's how it works:

From the months of September thru May each teacher is to pick one child from their class for the Terrific Kid Program at Fairview Elementary School. This is a program that honors students for the following reasons:
* being a well-behaved student * improving academically * being respectful to adults * being kind to classmates * sharing * attending school on time * other virtues teachers notice & want to recognize Recognition -

A special breakfast is held to honor the Terrific Kids and their parents. At the breakfast the student is awarded a certificate & a packet of "goodies."

Okay, I know that was a lot of mumbo jumbo. But it's pretty cool to see your kid standing up there being honored by his/her teacher and the rest of the faculty, knowing that only 9 students out of their class will have an opportunity to be Terrific Kid during that year. I am very proud of him!
