Three times a year, Lia's school holds an assembly where five students in every class are recognized for demonstrating one of the five character traits their school focuses on. Although Lia has come home from school many times telling me that one of her friends was recognized at one of these assemblies, it has never been her. So, I was so happy when a letter came in the mail last week telling us that Lia had been chosen to receive one of these awards. We were asked to keep it a secret as the students never find out until the morning of the assembly if they are receiving an award or not. So, it was fun to sneak into her school with Ella and Logan after dropping Lia off at the gate. Amazingly, Ron was able to get away from work and meet us there. Lia was so surprised when she walked into the gym and saw all four of us sitting there. We enjoyed seeing her receive her award for most "determined" in her class and we are so proud of what a wonderful, responsible, conscientious student she is in school. We love you, Lia!
