I'm tickled for Sheridan. She doesn't really like much about school. She doesn't have a favorite subject and has to think hard for a highlight each day. She isn't challenged by her school work, but does love to read. I wasn't surprised that she made the HONOR ROLL with all As the first semester, and I knew she had gotten a citizenship award for the first and second semester. HOWEVER what we didn't know was about 10 kids in her grade were chosen to receive a special character award.
Recently, one of our local National Guard members won a huge military award that was awarded for many things, but mostly his character. Sheridan and her other classmates were nominated by their teacher and at the award assembly their teacher told why they were receiving the special medal. Mrs Thomas said she always was helping others, not just on big things, but on small things too. I'm happy for her report card being filled with As but I'm super thankful for her character. She's not nearly as gregarious as myother three were at this age. I'm so thankful that she is making good decisions at school and with her classmates. A's will be forgotten, character will not.
