Jack's award ...

Jack received the Perseverance award last week. He was excited to get it and surprised. We were not to tell him before the ceremony. He had received the Kindness award early this year, so between the two he thought he was pretty hot stuff. So while Kyle and I were proud of him for the awards, we did have to have a little talk about being prideful about such things! Oh accolades for children ... on one hand they build self-esteem but on the other hand they do build the self-esteem sometimes a bit too much! We talked about remembering Who gave us the ability to persevere and why we are kind to others - heres to life lessons!

For what did he persevere? Did the teacher comment on how the awards were decided? Persevered in working to the end of school? Congrats!
