An "A" for Effort

There is nothing more special than the achievements of your children, so it was with great pride that I was able to attend an awards ceremony at Grace's elementary school today to watch her get presented with an award for Effort.

These awards ceremonies are held once a month, and different kids get recognized for different things over the course of the year. Today was Grace's turn.

The parents are informed ahead of time so they can be there, but it is generally a surprise for the kid themselves. I am not sure that Grace knew ahead of time that he was getting this award, but I know that she was surprised to see me and mom in the audience. The joy on her face was the kind of thing you just cannot measure.

Yay Grace!
