Last trimester I didn't come back to school in the afternoon, and wouldn't you know it- Chelsea won an award. That afternoon brought up some deep sadness from this little guy because he had never won an award. As always, we talked in depth about what it takes to earn a HAWK award.
So when I got wind that he would be getting an award this time, I was tickled! I stood up near the front with my camera ready & waited. And waited. No award for Honor. Okay. Achievement? Nope. Hmmm, that would have been my guess since he's a pretty smart little guy. Work Ethic ... Uh, no. Kindness? I had my fingers crossed, but no. There was only one letter left in HAWKS, S, for safety. I was really nervous at this point, actually, I figured it was a mistake & his award got lost in the shuffle. But wait, they said it! He won an award for safety! Talk about surprised! The child that is notorious for stopping both directions of traffic on our busy street? Wow, I was truly impressed. Still not sure what stuck out & made the teacher recognize him in the area of safety, but I'm not complaining!
