Claire's Award

We got an email from Mrs. Ochse, Claire's Kindergarten teacher, last week saying there was going to be an assembly on Monday and Claire was going to get an award. We were super excited about it, but kept it a secret from her. I nonchalantly mentioned seeing a sign about an assembly on Monday and Claire ask what an assembly was. She had no idea what was coming!

We showed up and watched all the kids file in. It's a K-8 school, so when the Kindergarteners were the last to march in, they looked so little and tiny! And there was Claire, folding her arms, walking in so quietly. It was so cute! (She's the one in all black.)

It was an awards assembly, so other students got awards as well. The Fire Department crew was there to give high fives, shake hands, and give the awards.

There she is, giving a high five to a policeman.

Mrs. Ochse had picked four students in her class, and Claire was one of them. She got the Teacher's Choice Award.

For this award, Mrs. Ochse said she was a leader in her class of kindness and friendship. We are very proud of her!
