Miss Abi, with her President's Award for Academic Excellence.
An official certificate, congratulatory letter from President Obama and a pin (which I'm pretty sure she wore to bed on her nighty)
And...right after I wrote this, I realized I never shared a huge thing for Kai. Our elementary school has a program with Brainstormers. They come in and help the kids write stories. Later, they (Brainstormer people) select a few of the kids’ stories to come back and perform as little plays. Kai’s teacher called the night before their return on March 20…his story was selected!
The kids had no idea who’s stories would be featured. Teachers just found out the day before so they could invite authors’ parents to attend. We weren't to tell the kids and parents were hidden in the office to sneak in once the kids were seated in the gym. It was so much fun. Kai was thrilled he was chosen. He was also very comfortable talking about his story, Super Dog, before the play.
